Marion and Shiva Stone are twins, born to a nun and a British surgeon in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After their father disappeared and their mother died giving birth, they became orphans. Hema and Ghosh, two Indian doctors with a special bond, raise the boys who are close and ultimately each show their passion for medicine -- and the same woman. I love the culture and influences in Ethiopia during this period, and that the author, who is a doctor, writes about medical procedures in a way that is clear and interesting. I love this book!
