"Cutting Stone" is a lifelong love story, a story of betrayal and redemption, human weakness and fortitude, exile and the long journey home.
In a mission hospital in Addis Ababa, twin boys, Marion and Shiva, are born under tragic, Shakespearean circumstances. Born to a beautiful Indian nun, they are orphaned almost immediately. The skill and courage of the doctors who separated them immediately after birth determined their destiny.
Marion and Shiva will dedicate their futures to medicine, but each will follow their own path. A remarkable, tragic, and eventful destinies await them: a completely happy childhood and a dramatic adolescence, a search for self and roots, a search for a father, betrayal and a passionate desire to atone, a love that seems like an obsession, and a jealousy that corrodes the soul.
And all this under the shadow of medicine, the essence of everyone's life. No matter what befell the heroes of this truly great novel, no matter what torments they endured, surgery—the very thing for which they came into this world—always remained their primary concern.
