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.
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.
