Summer Reading

We had a great discussion and wonderful food at Deb's house. Unfortunately, someone forgot her camera.   So sorry!


Roz selected out new book which we will review in August.


By Abraham Verghese - Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group (2010) - Paperback - 688 pages - ISBN 0375714367
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.

More on this later!
