Cutting for Stone
A remarkable example of tight believable writing. Narration begins from the womb! Amazingly, the writing is so believable and personal that the narration seems to disappear as the book progresses. A nun falls in love and dies during delivery of twins. The story covers generations and travels from New York to India and Africa.
