Coalition’s Reading Room: “Cutting for Stone,” by A. Verges

This Reading Room will be virtual. Those who RSVP will receive a Zoom link the day before, February 15.

A sweeping, emotionally riveting novel – an enthralling family saga of Africa and America, doctor and patients, exile and home. Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa.  Orphaned by their mother’s death in childbirth and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethipia hovers on the brink of revolution.

Join us for a discussion of this fascinating and beautifully written novel!
