It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

Many thanks Tikika.
The blurb reads:
"Marion and Shiva Stone, born in a mission hospital in Ethiopia in the 1950s, are twin sons of an illicit union between an Indian nun and British doctor. Bound by birth but with widely different temperaments they grow up together, in a country on the brink of revolution, until a betrayal splits them apart. But fate has not finished with them - they will be brought together once more, in the sterile surroundings of a hospital theatre.
From the 1940s to the present, from a convent in India to a cargo ship bound for the Yemen, from a tiny operating theatre in Ethiopia to a hospital in the Bronx, this is both a richly visceral epic and a riveting family story".

I have mixed feelings about this long book. At times I was drawn into the involved and melodramatic story, at others I was less engaged. I liked the characters and enjoyed the backdrop of Ethiopia and its struggles (though it's odd that no comment is made about the 1984 famine). I wonder if there was more allegory in it than I spotted. While I see that Sister Mary Joseph Praise is aptly named considering she gives birth seemingly a virgin, I'm not sure what or who Marion's nemesis, Genet, represents.
