BOOK OF THE WEEK.
In elementary school I always heard "Reading is Fun!" well guess what, now that I am not forced to read, I love it. My favorite part is that I am able to create my own version of the characters in my mind. It lets me escape the ins and outs of everyday life, allows me to travel to places that I may not be able to see, and has taught me lessons that I hope will help me maneuver through hardships in the future. Each week, I will provide you with a BOW, a short summary of the book, and a way to learn more if you think it strikes your fancy. Here it goes...
This week's BOW is: Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
Set in Ethiopia (pronounced correctly as Ethyo-pya), Cutting for Stone, follows the life of two twins: Marion and Shiva Stone. Their mother, Sister Mary Joseph Praise and their father, Thomas Stone are frequent surgical partners in Operating Theater 3 at Missing Hospital. Throughout their life, these boys face struggles and gain triumphs that will turn them into two very different men. The story is filled with colorful details and poetic language that will keep you turning every one of the 600 pages. Although it is a long read, you cannot help but let yourself go into their world. Get a glimpse by reading the first chapter here.
