Description
"Én el modesto hospital Missing de Adis Abeba, Etiopía, nacen dos gemelos, Marion y Shiva Stone, hijos de una monja india que muere en el parto y de un cirujano británico que desaparece sin dejar rastro. Los primeros años de los hermanos Stone transcurren en el feliz microcosmos del hospital misionero, criados por un grupo de personas que se afana en curar a los enfermos, pero con el paso del tiempo sus vidas comenzarán a tambalearse ante la presión de los acontecimientos que sacuden Etiopía, hasta que los hermanos se ven arrastrados por caminos diferentes. Esta historia apasionante sigue a sus protagonistas a través de la India, África y América durante cinco décadas, en un gran fresco de un país muy poco conocido en occidente"--,Provided by Amazon.com.
Description
"Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother's death 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. Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles--and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined. This sweeping, emotionally riveting novel that 'shows how history and landscape and accidents of birth conspire to create the story of a single life' (Los Angeles Times) is an enthralling family saga of Africa and America, doctors and patients, exile and home."--,Provided by Amazon.com.
