Heard it on the Grapevine

Here is a new book with the unusual title, Cutting for Stone, based in Ethiopia and covering the period when His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie was in power. I heard about it on the grapevine. A friend of my Aunt recommended it to her. Although she has not read it, my Aunt was recommending it to me and I am now recommending it to you based on the reviews in amazon. The author is Ethiopian Indian Abraham Verghese.
