J. W. asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I was looking at the cover of "The Physicians of Vilnoc" and realized it is difficult to have two hands in the position shown. The best I could find is two people standing side by side facing opposite directions (you could also have someone standing besides someone hung by their heels). Was this a deliberate choice?

Lois McMaster Bujold
You'd need to ask the artist, Ron Miller, but there's no reason it couldn't be two people's hands.

Ta, L.
