Cutting for Stone
by Abraham Verghese
Abraham Verghese's Cutting for Stone tells the story of twin brothers born of a secret union between a nun and a surgeon, orphaned at birth and raised in an Ethiopian mission hospital. It's a big, old-fashioned saga of medicine, family, betrayal, and exile, written by a doctor who makes the operating room sing.
