Cutting For Stone

This is a long one. Took me a little to get fully invested, but I'm glad I did.
I learned more about Ethopian history that I ever had before. Reminiscent to Poisonwood Bible in the way the learning of country's people & challenges feel very grounded and authentic (Obviously in this case, Verghese used a lot of his own experiences to shape that- you can tell- it's affecting and profound.) There is one scene that fueled a lot of dislike of the narrator for me. Until that part I had mostly been able to understand why he made the choices he did, but one part got me a little angry and ultimately soured my taste towards him. I can't tell if that was intentional or not, but it was certainly a choice. Overall, very well written and a glimpse into a world I've never really known much about- even including the parts in America.
