Description
“The Dissection of Stone” is a love story lasting a lifetime—full of betrayal and redemption, human weakness and strength of spirit, exile and a long return to one’s roots. In the missionary hospital in Addis-Ababa, under tragic, truly Shakespearean circumstances, two boys are born—two twins joined at the back of the head, Marion and Shiva. Born to a beautiful Indian nun by an English surgeon, the boys were orphaned within the first hours of life. The art and courage of the doctors who separated them immediately after birth shaped their life and fate. Marion and Shiva will link their lives to medicine, but each will take a different path. They are destined for an amazing, tragic life filled with incredible events. An absolutely happy childhood and dramatic youth, the search for oneself and one’s roots, betrayal and the passionate desire to atone for guilt, love that resembles obsession, and jealousy that eats away at the soul. And all of it under the shadow of medicine. Whatever happens in the lives of the heroes of this truly great novel, whatever their fate torments them with, the most important thing for them will always be surgery—the work for which they came into this world.
