Omschrijving
Twin sisters are separated in childhood but reunited in later life when they discover they were on opposing sides in the war.
A fascinating way to understand the effects of war, the tangled, muddied absurdity of it, how it traces remain in the blood for generations
Completely original . . . Takes the reader's breath away
Gripping and touching . . . Tessa de Loo's powerful narrative filters Europe's grand events through a family story that tests the ties of blood against the pull of passion and the blast of war
A huge success . . . a memorable and moving tale
Has there ever been, one wonders, a more imaginative and moving dramatization of the human cost of the divisions and destruction wreaked by Hitler s madness? Quite likely not. A flat-out masterpiece: exhilarating and unforgettable
This excellent novel spans the entire twentieth century. De Loo interleaves the twins' story with that of two countries locked in bloody conflict. A moving read about humanity's darkest hour
Details of time, place and atmosphere are acutely evoked, and the characters are presented with a generous sympathy that stops short of special pleading
TESSA DE LOO was born in Bussum, a small town near Amsterdam. Her prize-winning novels include Meander, Isabelle, The Smoke Sacrifice and The Miracle of the Dog. A Pig in the Palace looks at Byron's Albanian travels, while The Twins is a 3-million-copy bestseller.
