Cutting for Stone [Paperback] Verghese, Abraham
Abraham Verghese’s 'Cutting for Stone' unfurls an enthralling chronicle centered around the intertwined destinies of twin brothers, Marion and Shiva Stone. Conceived from a secretive liaison between a nun from India and a British doctor, these boys find themselves bereft of parental care early in their existence. United by an exceptional bond and a fervent dedication to the art of healing, they traverse their youth in Ethiopia, a land on the cusp of political upheaval. The storyline intricately dances between the vibrant locales of Addis Ababa and the bustling streets of New York City, crafting an indelible mosaic rich with themes of affection, treachery, and the miraculous interplay of medicine and the tapestry of daily life. Verghese’s writing is simultaneously stirring and perceptive, guiding readers through a deep-rooted examination of family ties, cultural heritage, and the inseparable connection that binds personal crises to broader societal turmoil. This expansive narrative stands as a powerful homage to the art of narration, inviting readers into a profound voyage that is both deeply personal and sweeping in scope, heart-wrenching yet ultimately filled with hope and redemption.
