Synopsis

An enthralling, exotic saga spanning five decades and three continents, rife with forbidden love and desire; betrayals, murder, medicine and family secrets.Marion and Shiva Stone, born in a mission hospital in Ethiopia in the 1950s, are twin sons of an illicit union between an Indian nun and British doctor. Bound by birth but with widely different temperaments they grow up together, in a country on the brink of revolution, until a betrayal splits them apart. But fate has not finished with them – they will be brought together once more, in the sterile surroundings of a hospital theatre.From the 1940s to the present, from a convent in India to a cargo ship bound for the Yemen, from a tiny operating theatre in Ethiopia to a hospital in the Bronx, this is both a richly visceral epic and a riveting family story.

Reviews

On Feb 23 2014, a reader said:
This book was a great read by a prize-winning author who is also a surgeon. I enjoyed it as a page-turner but at the same time I learned a great deal about Ethiopia in Haile Selassi's time.
On Jan 8 2011, Fict said:
Initially, I wasn't certain if I'd like this book, as I'm a bit put off by "medically" things. In the end, this book was a brilliant work by an extraordinary writer.
