It has been a few months since I first listened to this tale. I still find myself thinking about the story, the characters, the details of the individuals, and the Ethiopian culture. I simply must read the physical book. I can count on one hand out of hundreds of books that I will listen to, and read. It's just that lovely.
One of my top 5 books this year.

It would have to be two characters, Ghosh & Hema.

In my opinion the narration is as important as the story itself. In this case narration was done beautifully.

This is not the sort of book I would listen to in one sitting. Although it would be a great winter read.
I look for books with some heft & and a tale that can hold my attention while stimulating the imagination. The story of Shiva, and Marion, Dr. Stone, Sister Joseph Praise, Ghosh & Hema were great company to me during my evening walks.

Whatever the genre, if it doesn't have some meat on it's bones I just don't bother.

This audiobook is within my top ten favorites. I have listened to more exciting books, but this is a finely written story that's fascinating and real.

I have not read the print version.

The opening.

Yes, the narration was well done.

The book kept my interest from start to finish.

Would like to read more books like this.

This book is interesting on many levels. The characters are believable, you empathize and connect with them quickly. The narration was perfect. The story was so believable, you wonder if it's true. Marion's life story will stay with you.
"An unforgettable journey into one man's remarkable life, and an epic story about the power, intimacy, and curious beauty of the work of healing others." this quote says it all

yes, if they liked the medical profession

Gauche - his lines are classic

nothing, excellent

the book is so long, the movie would have to cut out too many scenes to be effective

Sunil was outstanding

I felt I never had to read the printed edition because I was completely fulfilled by this audio version. It was one of the first books I ever listened to and still to this day the characters are like someone I met on an exotic holiday and had a whirlwind romance with, forever etched into my memory, someone I miss and smile when I remember. Only a well written book can do this. Hats off to Abraham Verghese, capturing the essence of a woman. Cheers to Sunil Malhotra for keeping me as close to these characters as possible. I know what my answer is now when someone asks me what my favorite "book" is. Cutting For Stone, by Abraham Verghese.

Yes. Beautiful, touching story, full of insight into what it means to be social animals and how it affects our relationships and ultimately who we are.

Gohsh and Shiva

I am not one

What a wonderful physician the author must be, if he was able to write such a compassionate book!

I loved listening to the story teller.

I only wish the book went on longer so that I could continue to experience the richness of it all. The book was a journey to places, with people I have never known, but feel now like they are familiar and the world has expanded for me. The story is always interesting, always moving, always moving forward, with a soul.

The narration is superb and so true to the characters. The voice in this case was always engaging, never flat. Even with an abundance of characters Sunil Malnotra gave each one their own memorable personality.

The story is filled with moving moments, even compelling moments through the rich experiences of each of the characters. For me the very end, when it all connected why, and how, it all wove together leaving no questions, was masterful.

I will keep this audio book in my listening library to spend more time with these people and perhaps find more that I might have missed in the first listen.

I can't say enough good things about this book. Both the story of the twins born conjoined at the head in Ethiopia combined with the narrator's ability to read the story with such ease and a very beautiful voice. I will look for other books narrated by Sunil Malhotra. This book is a must listen to for that reason. I had the actual book, but couldn't get into it, when I actually purchased (full price I might add) the audible version I was hooked. I look for every excuse to plug in my ear phones to listen to what happens next.

I read this author's first book when it came out and loved it. I was delighted when my book club selected this as our next read. I tried reading it on my Kindle but just couldn't get into it. So I tried the audio. It was still slow in the beginning but as I had it on while doing chores around the house, I kept listening. It finally did pick up and I did enjoy it but I wouldn't call it one of my favorites. I thought the narrator was wonderful and could listen to him any time. Frequently, when narrators attempt to sound like a character of the opposite sex, the effect is comical or even irritating but this one nailed all the voices. Well worth a listen.
