2011 Bookshelf: Cutting for Stone

This is my lazy book review of "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese:

• Starts out slow
• Picks up the pace
• Set in Ethiopia, then New York, then Ethiopia
• About twin brothers raised by surgeon parents who grow up to become surgeons themselves
• There's an estranged biological father in there, too
• Brothers don't always have the best relationship
• Some medical jargon, but not too much to bog the story down
• I really liked it - thought it had a great (albeit sad) ending
• Would recommend it
