Cutting for Stone is a satisfying sweeping old fashioned novel with richly painted portraits of people and place.

Marion and Shiva Stone are twin boys born in a Mission hospital in Ethiopia. Their mother, a nun, dies during childbirth. Their father, a surgeon, flees after delivering them. The boys are adopted by two loving and wonderful doctors at the hospital and are raised there amongst illness, poverty, and political turmoil. Thus begins this epic and engrossing tale of love, loyalty, betrayal and redemption that spans decades and continents with medical details masterfully woven throughout.

A great book to curl up and get lost in on these cold winter days. ~Anne
