Dr. Martha Adams recommends Cutting for Stone, the first novel by author and physician Abraham Verghese. Adams says, “It's a terrifically moving ‘story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles.’ I found the many life decisions in the storyline especially intriguing. And I always like historical fiction, in this case about Ethiopia and about an underfunded, overcrowded New York City hospital.”
