The Twins
Autor Saskia Sarginsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2013
They
were
inseparable
until
an
innocent
mistake
tore
them
apart.
Growing
up,
Viola
and
Issy
clung
to
each
other
in
the
wake
of
their
mother's
eccentricity,
as
she
dragged
them
from
a
commune
to
a
tiny
Welsh
village.
They
thought
the
three
of
them
would
be
together
forever.
But
an
innocent
mistake
one
summer
set
them
on
drastically
different
paths.
Now
in
their
twenties,
Issy
is
trying
to
hold
together
a
life
as
a
magazine
art
director,
while
Viola
is
slowly
destroying
herself,
consumed
with
guilt
over
the
events
they
unknowingly
set
into
motion
as
children.
When
it
seems
that
Viola
might
never
recover,
Issy
returns
to
the
town
they
haven't
seen
in
a
decade,
to
face
her
own
demons
and
see
what
answers,
if
any,
she
can
find.
A
deeply
moving,
gripping
debut,
this
is
a
novel
about
the
secrets
we
carry,
and
the
bonds
between
twins.

Recenzii
"A
perfect
R&J
summer
read,
a
psychological
thriller
of
sisters
and
a
dreadful
childhood
incident,
the
details
of
which
are
drip
fed
to
us
throughout
the
book,
building
layers
of
complexity
to
the
story
at
each
revelation...

"Beautifully done."—Publisher's Weekly
"[O]utstandingly good. Part-thriller, part-love story, I guarantee you will not be able to put it down."—The Sun (UK)
"Everybody has an opinion about twins and the bond between them. Well this novel has two sets of twins and will make you curious to know more.
