Wasn’t that the definition of home? Not where you are from, but where you are wanted.

“Love, she thinks, isn't ownership, but a sense that where her body once ended, it begins anew in him, extending her reach, her confidence, and her strength.”

Thank the lord that Thankamma isn't a negative character as expected (as of yet at least)

From Facebook, Abraham Verghese posts this excerpt from a review in The Guardian.

“I woke up to this rave review from Booker-shortlisted author Maaza Mengiste in The Guardian. What a dream!”

"Abraham Verghese’s riveting, sprawling epic opens with a mother and her 12-year-old daughter crying… This is a novel – a splendid, enthralling one – about the body, about what characters inherit and what makes itself felt upon them. It is the body that contains ambiguities and mysteries. As in his international bestseller Cutting for Stone, Verghese’s medical knowledge and his mesmerising attention to detail combine to create breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat scenes of survival and medical procedures that are difficult to forget. Tenderness permeates every page, at the same time as he is ruthless with the many ways his characters are made vulnerable by simply being alive. Those scenes when a person must fight for their life make for some of the most gripping episodes that I have read in some time… The Covenant of Water contains a larger question of community and belonging, one that feels most important in these days of escalating political wars and tensions: is it possible to be fragile and wounded, and still necessary and loved? The answer is rendered with care by a writer who looks at the world with a doctor’s knowing, merciful gaze. As much as any moral reckoning or catastrophic plot point, this is why literature, in all its comforting and challenging forms, matters.”

Impeccably complete, Abraham Verghese’s Cutting for Stone is the single most satisfying novel I read in 2023.

How can a brilliant physician also be a brilliant author? Abraham Verghese provides the answer in Cutting for Stone.

A great novel needs to teach, to stir the imagination and to make us care. Verghese accomplishes all this in the first few chapters. As the story expands, so do his characters and what starts as a place in time evolves into a decades-long view of history. No one knew Sister Mary Joseph Praise was pregnant until she was unable to hide her labor pains. A skilled and devoted nurse in a hospital for…
