Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

5.0

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read! A friend recommended it a few years ago and I am only sorry that it took so long for me to get to it. So many things to love about it. So many strong female characters! Wonderful insight into the world of surgeons and doctors. Lovely story of a young woman learning to choose what is most meaningful in a spouse. Siblings loving, hurting and then forgiving. Live in a pre-revolutionary country in Africa. Live as an immagrant in the U.S. Dedication to serving the poor by most of the main characters. I could go on and on. It is a rich, beautiful story that I was sorry to see end.
