Very impressive. Though initially daunted by the length (the usual generation-X-give-me-quick-gratification attention disorder syndrome :) ), once I started reading it, I knew I had to read it to the end.

I think you have a great talent for detailing human emotions and interactions. I have enjoyed your earlier work also.

best

Beautiful. Having once been a part of a research team in rural Pakistan, I was esp. impressed by how well you describe the huge gulf that often yawns between the research teams and their `subjects`.
