Cutting for Stone

by Abraham Verghese

In 'Cutting for Stone', we are introduced to Marion and Shiva Stone, twin brothers born from a forbidden union between an Indian nun and a British surgeon in Ethiopia. Their mother's death and their father's absence leave them tethered by a deep bond and a mutual passion for medicine. As they mature, the backdrop of an Ethiopia teetering on revolution shapes their destiny. The twins diverge on a painful path when they fall for the same woman, culminating in Marion's forced flight to America. Here, as an underdog in a New York hospital's intern program, he confronts not just professional challenges but also the ghosts of his past. A tale woven with love, betrayal, healing, and the inexorable threads of fate, 'Cutting for Stone' is a testament to the intertwined journeys of those who seek to mend bodies and souls.
