{"product_id":"9780307357786","title":"Cutting for Stone","description":"The international bestseller with over one million copies sold. A sweeping, emotionally riveting first novel — an enthralling  family saga of Africa and America, doctors and patients, exile and home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Yet it will be love, not politics  — their passion for the same woman — that will tear them apart and force Marion,  fresh out of medical school, to flee his homeland. He makes his way to America, finding  refuge in his work as an intern at an underfunded, overcrowded New York City hospital.  When the past catches up to him — nearly destroying him — Marion must entrust his  life to the two men he thought he trusted least in the world: the surgeon father  who abandoned him and the brother who betrayed him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An unforgettable journey into  one man’s remarkable life, and an epic story about the power, intimacy, and curious  beauty of the work of healing others.","brand":"Abraham Verghese","offers":[{"title":"Random House of Canada |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2010-01-26","offer_id":44231671120127,"sku":"9780307357786","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_dc1de0cd-421c-47f3-859e-caf0aca603e7.jpg?v=1693067060","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780307357786","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
