His recovery time forces him to contemplate unfamiliar thoughts: His origins, his destination, and how to discover the path he should take. After healing, he enrolls in a physiotherapy course and joins a prayer group. His spiritual journey takes him to Praglia Abbey, a remote Benedictine monastery in the foothills near Padua. He resides here for a decade, finding peace and discipline in its secluded atmosphere, before being sent to a Benedictine ashram in Bangladesh. There, he dedicates himself to praying seven times daily, learning Bengali, and performing chores such as washing his clothes in the river. He also starts a physiotherapy clinic to help those in pain. But amidst his service to God, he realizes that there is more to life than just devotion. This novel by Up
