Cutting for Stone

By Abraham Verghese

“An unforgettable journey into one man’s remarkable life, and an epic story about the power, intimacy, and curious beauty of the work of healing others set in 1960s & 1970s Ethiopia and 1980s America.

Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa. Orphaned by their mother’s death in childbirth 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.” … Summary by Goodreads

What Happened at Book Club …

Our summary is scarce as our record keeper was away (and missed out on the picture 🙁 ) Nevertheless our book club meeting was fabulous!

Cathy with a ‘C’ led our discussion of Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese. It was liked by mostly everyone  and for some our  second time reading it.  We even learned some new words – Alison will have to explain how toes and fertility go together. Cathy with a C made an incredible Ethiopian Lamb Stew and Liz made the Injera.  Thank you!

This is most of us!
