A dark story with a layer of hopeful icing, this story is well written but disturbing. I felt it was a Frankenstein redux, a family is killed by viscous robbers stealing from then then stabbing them all to death... But we meet them later, dead but animated in a night medical theatre hosted by an eccentric  ut driven surgeon who had some success it seems or was told he would if he stitched them up in night surgery they might come back to life with the dawn..a philosophical book with layers of darkness and coping with death mortality and wanting to live and save ones family, regrets, hopes and desperation.
