À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of The Covenant of Water: A beautifully written, page-turning family saga of Ethiopia and America, doctors and patients, exile and home. • “Filled with mystical scenes and deeply felt characters.... Verghese is something of a magician as a novelist.” —USA Today

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 Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Inspirant Sincère Afrique Médecine

I'm taking my time with this book because I don't want it to end. So invested in the story and the characters.

Gorgeous, lush story, excellent narrator.

I was captivated by this story - the storyline, the characters, the portrayals of growth and culture. As a physician, I also was hooked by the medical details/stories throughout the book, and sympathized with the depiction of western medical/surgical training. Fantastic performance of an excellent book.

What a story!

I read this after Covenant of Water and it’s much tighter - and much better (although Covenant is good). The characters and the connections between them are just so beautiful and the story keeps a good pace. Narration is also terrific. Highly recommended

Beautiful

For a debut this book is a masterpiece!
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!

An intricate story that I didn’t want to end.
His writing is so detailed and beautiful. A few twists that had my jaw drop. This will be a favourite.

Excellent, thoughtful, deep read

The narrator of this brilliant story is equally brilliant to the author and their telling of this wonderous tale. This is the best audiobook I have listened to to date and I will listen to it again. This is a brilliant story by a man who is in full command of his heart and his mind. Bravo Abraham Verghese and bravo Sunil Malhotra. 5 thousand stars!!!!!

Superlative! Brilliant!

This is one of the best books I’ve read after his Covenant of Water which was fabulous too. A must for all.

An incredible book

This book was incredible in print, but you get the ‘enhanced’ version by listening to it. The narration is first-rate, not to mention the story—thank you, Abraham Vergese. This story is so beautifully crafted 😊

An amazing audiobook!!!

It was a beautiful story of love and hope, and how family make-up isn't just through blood.

The emotional connection between the characters .
