This is one of my very favorite books. I love family sagas and this is one of the best. Twins with a preternatural connection, a mother who dies in childbirth, an absent father, a shared fascination with medicine, Ethiopia, New York, revolution, power in oh so many forms, and intimacy in just as many. Powerful. I promise it will make you think!
