Cutting for Stone (a Novel)

by Abraham Verghese

What an amazing saga across generations and geography!! From India to Ethiopia to America, and back to Ethiopia, plus some other places in between. It is an engrossing read, rich with emotions and details (including some medical details, as main characters are all medical doctors). I found the part about the life in Ethiopia particularly interesting, as it is so rare to read about the geography and political history of Ethiopia. Superbly written, the book satisfies both the mind and the heart.
