À propos de cet audio
Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution.
Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles—and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.
This sweeping, emotionally riveting novel that "shows how history and landscape and accidents of birth conspire to create the story of a single life" (Los Angeles Times).©2009 Abraham Verghese; (P)2009 Random House Audio

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Histoire0
Virginia, 1954. When a woman wakes on a patient transport bus arriving at Hanover State Psychiatric Hospital, she remembers nothing of her life before that moment, none of the dark things she must’ve seen and done that forged her into the skillful and cunning fighter she is. Doctors tell her she’s Dorothy Frasier, a paranoid schizophrenic, committed for her violent delusions. She’s certain they’re wrong—until disturbing visions of a dystopian future in which frantic scientists urge her to complete “the mission” and save mankind begin to invade her reality.

With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

As the author is a doctor, you can easily feel his passion for that profession.
Students of medicine will find this work riveting, especially if they take into consideration the time and poor resources at the time and countries (Ethiopia, India).
But I wished that there were less medical procedures, because it took away some of the flow of the storyline. The medical procedures are told in details and are very vivid. Some scenes may upset some readers, especially mothers-to-be.
Regardless, this is really a great read to be savoured at slow pace.
The characters are terrific! You can feel their joys and frustrations.
The author showed a great sense of humour in some dialogues, but there are some heartbreaking moments.
The story about the born conjoined twins, separated by surgery, and who grew up fascinated with medicine, was quite incredible.
This a historical fiction that starts in 1954, in Ethiopia, so keep that in mind if you decide to read this book.
Women were not that appreciated (and still, even today, some countries in Africa, Asia and South America have poor considerations for women).
A great account of being human.
I have all 3 formats: paperback, ebook & audiobook. The paperback has been sitting on my shelves since its release.
This was my second book by this author.
His latest release, “The Covenant of Water”, is currently my favourite book of 2023.
Brilliant debut!
