This was my favorite book in recent memory. I read a lot so the ones that are sort of 'eh' - I don't even remember that I read them years down the line. This one I won't forget.
The premise doesn't at all capture the essence of the book, but I'll give it a shot. Twins are born, and quasi-orphaned, in Ethiopia to an Indian nun and an English doctor in a Catholic mission hospital. Sharing a special bond but with vastly different personalities, the twins grow up in the hospital amidst disease and illness and miracles, civil unrest, and heavy life lessons. I won't give away any of the story, but it's an incredibly sentimental, lovely book. Literally I fell in love with all of the characters and hated to see it end.
Amazing book. I just passed it on to Beth and now, Martha Stewart is reading it too! So be sure it's next on your list!
