Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
4.75
Heat and dust cling to every page, dragging me into Ethiopia’s tangled pulse. The book reaches into places most don’t see, pressing stories into my skin like rough cloth. Emotions surge sharp and raw, twisting through facts that refuse to soften or explain away.
The people carry their histories in heavy silence—each scar, every quiet moment, folded deep inside. The writing slices through the easy and the neat, settling instead on truths that bruise and burn.
Details settle inside me like sharp stones, each one shaping a world both fragile and fierce. The voices whisper long after the words stop, marking a place where hope clings stubbornly beneath hardship.
This isn’t a gentle journey—it scratches, it bites, but it never lets go.
