January's book group selection is Cutting for Stone, by Abraham Verghese. "This sprawling, 50-year epic begins with the 1954 birth of conjoined twins to an Indian nun in an Ethiopian hospital. The likely father, a British surgeon, flees upon the mother’s death, and the baby boys are adopted by a loving Indian couple who run the hospital. Filled with mystical scenes and deeply felt characters–and opening a fascinating window onto the Third World. Shades of Slumdog Millionaire.”-Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today

This book is available at Seattle Public Library in several formats including large print, audiobook CD and ebook. For more information or for assistance acquiring the book, please contact Jennifer Bodley.
