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. Yet it will be love, not politics -- their passion for the same woman -- that will tear them apart and force Marion, fresh out of medical school, to flee his homeland. He makes his way to America, finding refuge in his work as an intern at an underfunded, overcrowded New York City hospital. When the past catches up to him -- nearly destroying him -- Marion must entrust his life to the two men he thought he trusted least in the world: the surgeon father who abandoned him and the brother who betrayed him.… (plus d'informations)

Spoilers, a book that was wonderfully plotted and well written, ruined for me, by it's treatment of women. Sr. Mary Praise, raped, Genet, used and mutilated and then used again while desperately ill by the main character. All the unknown girls with fistula .The woman tricked into sleeping with the wrong twin. Rosina, the mistress, beaten and driven to suicide. Only the somewhat hazy mother superior and Hema have any strength and it is lost amid all the brutality. Maybe I'm missing it and the author was making a commentary on the treatment of women. I am not a huge feminist, I love dickens depite his mostly wispy washy women, but I found this hard to take ( )

Family Drama
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
This lengthy and over-written book contains the potential to be an interesting story. Twins separated from their parents early in life, life for Indian immigrants in Ethiopia, star-crossed lovers, loss and betrayal in families, delicate operations with life or death consequences: these all seem like the seeds of an interesting drama. In the end though, this is really only a kind of hero-story (or stories) suitable for surgeons. The author’s medical background pushes aside his evident writing skills in long passages of surgical jargon that read as if they are intended to impress his colleagues rather than provide context. Some of his main characters are a little one-dimensional and deserved more out of 600 pages. And he has been let down by editors who failed to resect the necrotic parts the text. It’s not a terrible book, but it could have been so much more. ( )

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.

Sad, romantic, beautiful, tragic, funny, gross, and scientific. It's just everything all rolled into one.

It starts a little slow, and it takes a bit of time to warm up to the people,but now I love them all so much I wish there was more to read.

This is the first book where I actually used my kindle's highlight feature to mark some passages because I liked them so much.

Just great. Sorry I waited so very long to read this and I hope that Verghese can write another fabulous novel like this. ( )

▾Critiques presse
Cutting for Stone - the phrase is from the Hippocratic oath - is about twins born joined at the head, in a mission hospital in Addis Ababa half a century ago. Their mother, a nun from Madras, does not survive the birth. Their father, a British surgeon called Thomas Stone, cannot bear the loss and flees, so Marion and Shiva are raised by two Indian doctors in the hospital where their parents worked; both become surgeons.

And because I love this life
I know I shall love death as well
The child cries out when
From the right breast the mother
Takes it away, in the very next moment
To find in the left one
Its consolation.
-- Rabindranath Tagore,
from Gitanjuli
