Michael Kind is raised in the Jewish cauldron of 1920s New York, familiar with the stresses and materialism of metropolitan life. Turning to the ancient set of ethics of his Orthodox grandfather, with a modern twist, he becomes a Reform rabbi. As insecure and sexually needy as any other young male, he serves as a circuit-rider rabbi in the Ozarks, and then as a temple rabbi in the racially ugly South, in a San Francisco suburb, in a Pennsylvania college town, and, finally, in a New England community west of Boston.

Publisher's Summary
An orphan leaves Dark Ages London, taking a dangerous journey and posing as a Jew to study medicine in Persia, in "an adventurous and inspiring tale" (Library Journal).
A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift - an acute sensitivity to impending death - never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer.
Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world's most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival - medicine - makes a riveting modern classic.
The Physician is the first book in New York Times best-selling author Noah Gordon's Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.

Great story, rather mediocre narrator
It was a fantastic story. Engrossing, suspenseful, and with great character development. I’m definitely going to read more books by Noah Gordon.
The narrator unfortunately was rather mediocre. His tone was fairly flat throughout. Several words were actually mispronounced, and emphasis was placed in odd spots in the sentences.
Overall though, I really enjoyed this book. A great read/listen!

Captivating Story
I always enjoy historical novels and came across this by chance. Great narration and such an interesting story that I just didn’t want to stop listening to it. I enjoyed it as much as books from other authors like Edward Rutherford and Leon Uris.
