A sweeping, emotionally riveting first novel--an enthralling family
saga of Africa and America, doctors and patients, exile and home.
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.
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.
