Abraham Verghese's Cutting for Stone
Well, this makes two great reads in a row! Maybe it's hard to go wrong with love, nuns, families, doctors, etc, in Ethiopia. Of course that makes it sound kind of cheesy--it's really about two identical twin boys whose mother, a nun, dies in childbirth. There are large and small family dramas as they grow up and both become involved in medicine. Anyway, I loved the characters, and this gets an A/A- b/c the end was kind of predictable.
