35. My Own Country by Abraham Verghese. A tale of an Indian physician, brought up in East Africa and India, who moves to the USA. He specializes in infectious diseases and takes a post in East Tennessee. There (it's the mid-1980's) he sees the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.
He sees with the eye of the alien, the eye of the outsider. And yet he comes to know his patients and be there for them in a way he never thought he would. Moving and powerful.
