THE GIRLS by Lori Lansens

LANSENS

"I have never looked into my sister's eyes." So begins this remarkable novel about two sisters, conjoined twins, abandoned by their mother and raised by the nurse who brought them into the world. Aunt Lovey refuses to consider them disabled or deformed. To her they are Ruby and Rose, individuals with two brains and two hearts.
At the age of twenty-nine Rose embarks upon the writing of the story of their lives, and encourages Ruby to add her unique perspective. Through their alternating narratives the girls reveal a contradictory longing for independence and togetherness and sisterly love like no other.

Heartbreaking and very funny, you won't forget The Girls.
