Cutting for Stone Part 3, Chapter 17: "Tizita" Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Marion, the baby, grabs his nanny's breast while Shiva, his twin, sends him psychic messages to put it to his mouth. The twins seem to share experiences.
  • Almaz, the nanny, sings the Ethiopian song "Tizita" to the boys, and Marion will continue to hear the song wherever he goes, wherever there are Ethiopians.
