I am reading Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese for my MUS Moms book group.
"After eight months spent in the obscurity of our mother's womb, my brother, Shiva, and I came into the world in the late afternoon of the twentieth of September in the year of grace 1954. We took our first breaths at an elevation of eight thousand feet in the thin air of Addis Ababa, capital city of Ethiopia."
Twins (conjoined, I believe) in Ethiopia in 1954? Very intriguing!
I've heard of this book but I had no idea what it was about. Interesting beginning.

ReplyDeleteKaty and Mystica--I have heard good things too and hope my expectations aren't too high
ReplyDeleteAths--I have got to give myself a good sit down with this book and get started on it, it's kinda' long
Diane--So glad to hear you really liked this one as I keep getting distracted by thinner books :-)
