At the end of a demanding day of translating speeches at an international medical conference in Manhattan, Dominique Green accidentally overhears something she is bound by her interpreter' s contract never to reveal. But she can' t forget it. After discovering a potentially revolutionary HIV treatment, a researcher has decided to keep it a secret from the company he works for, indefinitely postponing its trial and release. It is a treatment that could save Dominique' s close friend, but only if it' s available soon. The very next day, unaware of his identity, Dominique meets Nicholas Manzini, the Italian researcher who made the discovery. After a lifetime of digesting, transforming, and then releasing the words of strangers, Dominique slowly begins to develop her own voice while speaking to Nicholas. But he, too, is grappling with his own moral dilemma, one wrapped tightly around HIV treatments and ethics, personal needs and exterior pressures. As they fall completely in love, neither knows what the other is hiding-- nor can they foresee what startling surprises await them when all is said and done.

I'm a former medical interpreter, so thought I might find something interesting about the interpreting profession... I found instead an over-reliance on the cliched idea that interpreters don't have their own voices. Maybe the interpreter-narrator does find her voice later in the book, but Glass, alas, just couldn't keep me interested enough to find out. ( )
