Cutting For Stone
Dr. Verghese weaves a riveting story about two twins growing up in Africa after a tumultuous entry into this world which includes on the same day the death of their delivering mother, the abandonment of their father, and an attempted termination of one of their lives. Adopted by their delivering obstetrician, they grow to love and live the life of medicine. Due to an amazing series of unfortunate events, Marion, the older more sensitive twin, is forced into confronting his biological father who turns out to be a famous transplant surgeon in America. I LOVED this book and recommend it to any aspiring medical or nursing student. My only regret is that I didn’t have the chance to share my impressions with my mom who so thoughtfully gave me this book. I guess I’m lucky because I got a gift from her again now. And I’m grateful for it.
