I read this book a number of years ago and just can't get it out of my mind. Eileen Lottman is a master writer who is unbelievably adept at getting into the mindset of her characters. She writes as if she herself has experienced the excruciating life of a siamese twin. The story of how these twins (both girls) grow up and become women is facinating. We even hear of their first sexual experiences. If you have a super curious mind and enjoy a story quite odd, you will LOVE this book.

Originally read the book in 1991. I was on a mission to read all the new releases at the library that summer, so I came across this one by chance. Recently, I looked this book up, then couldn't find it, so I thought maybe I'd misremembered its existence. Hard to find before it's paperback release. This was a book before it's time! Very strange and engrossing, like a David Lynch movie.

I got this book on sale and found it to be a very good book. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the incidents , and also found it very intersting. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I have loaned it to all of my friends who like to read, and they also found the book a very good read. buy it! You won't be sorry.
