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. --back cover

Marion si Shiva Stone sunt frati gemeni nascuti dintr-o uniune secreta intre o frumoasa calugarita indiana si un chirurg britanic impertinent. Orfani de moartea mamei lor si de disparitia tatalui lor, legate intre ele printr-o legatura preternaturala si o fascinatie comuna pentru medicina, gemenii ajung la varsta majora pe masura ce Etiopia se afla in pragul revolutiei.
