Slicing Stone is a story of lifelong love, betrayal and redemption, human weakness and fortitude, exile and a long return to the roots. In the missionary hospital of Addis Ababa, under tragic, truly Shakespearean circumstances, two boys are born, two twins, fused at the back of their heads, Marion and Shiva. Born to a beautiful Indian nun by an English surgeon, the boys were orphaned in their first hours of life. The art and courage of the doctors who separated them immediately after birth determined their lives and fate. Marion and Shiva will connect their lives with medicine, but each will go his own way. An amazing, tragic and full of incredible events fate awaits them. An absolutely happy childhood and a dramatic youth, the search for oneself and one's roots, betrayal and a passionate desire to atone for guilt, love that looks like an obsession, and jealousy that eats away the soul. And all this in the shadow of medicine. Whatever happens in the lives of the heroes of this truly great novel, no matter how their fate torments them, the main thing for them has always been surgery - the cause for which they came to this world. Abraham Verghese is an outstanding doctor, a luminary in the field of physiotherapy, one of the most respected doctors in America. His first novel was a great event, amazing penetration and authenticity, the deepest knowledge of the profession and a magnificent literary style make Verghese's book one of the most significant medical novels of the last century.
