He was born and raised in a Mullah family, an old-line Muslim clan, in a remote village in what is now Bangladesh, with its hardships and heartaches, its myths and superstitions. The people, places and cultures that he was a part of have almost entirely disappeared. The temples, mosques and palaces, though gone, come alive again in this beautifully written memoir. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd the tales of love, suffering and fate of the village occupants are intertwined with Rahman's unlikely story of finding medicine and success in America.
