The twins' father, surgeon Thomas Stone, flees the hospital, blaming the boys for their mother's death. Despite the difficult upbringing, the boys develop a love for medicine. But the clinic is implicated in the coup against Haile Salassie for treating a leader of the rebel cause. This is a welcome page-turner that will interest anyone who loves unpredictable, well-written adventures" -Jim

#22:  "A wonderful surprise of a book (& the winner of the 2009 National Book Award) that shows us how our lives connect in the most subtle, sometimes profound ways. Loosely set around the day of Philippe Petit’s 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers, this multi-layered narrative is at turns a love letter to NYC, a polemic on the duplicitous nature of humanity, and a nod to the Towers themselves. Can you get a true sense of ‘humanity’ from a novel? I’m not sure, but it was this sense that really struck me – you just never know how your actions are affecting the people you interact with every day. For good or for ill, it is our very humanness that binds us all together. Truly brilliant." -Seth
