Martha Merrell's Books and Cuddles Book Group Wins International Contest
National Public Radio Names Winner of New York Times Bestseller Author Visit
The Oasis Readers Book Group that meets at Martha Merrell's and Cuddles was named winner of the National Public Radio Author Meetup contest today. The group ranked first among 90 worldwide communities vying for the chance to have a chat with Abraham Verghese, M.D., author of the New York Times bestseller, Cutting for Stone.
The author visit will take place at Martha Merrell's and Cuddles, 231 W. Main St., Waukesha, WI, on Friday, April 1, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. This free discussion is open to the public. The Steaming Cup is providing refreshments and there will be authentic Ethiopian food to sample.
According to the NPR web site, Cutting For Stone follows twin brothers Marion and Shiva Stone, born of a secret union between an Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. They are orphaned at a young age and must learn to navigate the world together as they grow up in Ethiopia on the brink of a revolution. The twins' story swings from Addis Ababa to New York City and explores the themes of family, betrayal, health care, everyday magic and the way that two lives can forever intertwine."
