"Cutting for Stone" by Aabraham Verghese
The first review I read of this book began with "Stunning!"....can I say more? I don't think so. An amazing tale of medicine, Africa, faith, family. I enjoyed it immensely and thanks to my bookclub for introducing it to me. I wasn't in town when they discussed it but saw it on the shelf recently in the library and picked it up...good choice!
