It's Christmas Eve in Manhattan. An eminent plastic surgeon slips on the ice, lands on his butt, and sprains his ankle. So far, so good. A woman such as he's never known yanks him to his feet and conjures the miracle of a taxi. Harrison recuperates with Franz Schubert, Bette Davis, and a foundling cat. Then it's back to rhinoplasties, liposuction, and the peccadilloes of his obnoxious colleagues. It is only when he collides again with that strangely helpful woman that things take a wild and revolutionary turn.

2.5 stars - Getting through this book was arduous, at times, and not in a good way.
There were some good parts to this story, but overall, heavily overshadowed by the pontification of the protagonist.
Side Note: I am not sure, I will get through Ducks, Newburyport - if it is anything like this.
