BOOKS FROM 9 when you're finally released, you will come back to yourself feeling wiser, and flush with gratitude. And you will have remembered what magnificent alchemy a finely wrought novel can work. “Cutting for Stone” by Abraham Berghese tells a tale of Marion and Shiva Stone who are twin brothers. 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. The characters are strong, interesting, and very human; the conflicts are realistic and keep the pace of the novel moving forward. Even minor characters are sufficiently well developed. There is gentle humor, emotional turmoil, and great personal triumph throughout the book.
