Cutting for Stone

Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles--and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.

Excellent story. Taking place in Africa about Indian doctors who help ‘orphaned’ twin brothers.

What a beautiful book! I am absolutely enamored of Abraham Varghese's writing. His characters all came to life for me in the reading of this book and their stories will live on in my mind as heroic yet human individuals who I feel honored to have met in the pages of this book.
