A review by martha_imani
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

I would have given this 5 stars except that the main character
rapes another character, with no recognition or acknowledgement of what he has done
. The book contains many graphic scenes of surgery, disease, and injury. Content warning: female genital mutilation.
