Description
Cutting for Stone is a masterful debut novel that explores the complexities of human connection and the power of medicine to both heal and harm. Born of a secret union between an Indian nun and a British surgeon, twin brothers Marion and Shiva Stone are bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine.
As they navigate the tumultuous landscape of 20th-century Ethiopia and America, the brothers' lives become intertwined with the art of surgery, love, and redemption. With its vivid prose and gripping narrative, Cutting for Stone is a riveting family story that explores the intricate web of relationships and the enduring power of the human spirit.
This unforgettable novel is a gripping evocation of the ancient art of surgery, and the complex, often fraught, relationships between doctors, patients, and those they care for.
