Symbiosis

Identical twins Talulah and Taliah have never been apart. Viewed as curiosities by children and adults alike, they coexist in an insular world with their own secret language. But being identical doesn't necessarily mean being equal...

Soon a series of momentous events will send Talulah and Taliah spiralling out of control, setting them on a collision course with a society that views them as two parts of a whole. Will their symbiotic relationship survive?

Perceptive and poignant, Symbiosis explores our enduring fascination with twins and the complexities of twinship.

A valuable addition to the monozygotic canon...

Symbiosis demonstrates Portman's ability to populate his worlds with peculiar yet plausible characters.

Moving and laconic, with impressive attention to psychological detail...
