An unforgettable, illuminating story of how men live and how they survive, from Abraham Verghese, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Cutting for Stone and The Covenant of Water, an Oprah's Book Club Pick.
Heartbreaking. . . . Indelible and haunting, [The Tennis Partner] is an elegy to friendship found, and an ode to a good friend lost.The Boston Globe
In this powerful physician's memoir, Abraham Verghese, a doctor whose marriage is unraveling, relocates to El Paso, Texas, hoping to make a fresh start as a staff member at the county hospital. There he meets David Smith, a medical student navigating a fragile recovery from drug addiction, and the two men begin a tennis ritual that allows them to shed their inhibitions and find security in the sport they love and with each other. This friendship between doctor and intern grows increasingly rich and complex, more intimate than two men usually allow. Just when it seems nothing can go wrong, the dark beast from David's past emerges once againand almost everything Verghese has come to trust and believe in is threatened as David spirals out of control.

- The Healing Power of Sport: For two men constrained by their professional roles, the tennis court becomes a sanctuarya place to find security, shed inhibitions, and build a trust that transcends the lines.
- Literary Memoir: From the beloved author of Cutting for Stone comes a luminous, heartbreaking, and unflinchingly honest exploration of how men live, how they connect, and how they survive.
