The girls a novel

Now nearing thirty, Rose and Ruby are soon to be history's oldest conjoined twins, and Rose decides it is time to write the story of her short but extraordinary life. As Ruby watches Rose write her memoirs, she decides she wants to tell her part too; for though they are as close as two people can be, their lives and voices are wonderfully, powerfully distinct. Every experience of growing up comes rushing through in their telling-- their first loves, their painful choices, losses, and triumphs--but every experience is doubled, sometimes joyfully and sometimes painfully.

  • "Conjoined twins Rose and Ruby Darlen, born in the midst of a tornado and abandoned by their mother, are raised by Aunt Lovey, who refuses to see them as deformed. At age 29, Rose, the more verbal and bookish twin, begins writing their story. Rose shares her darkest memory and her deepest regret, while Ruby, the prettier, more practical twin, ofers critical details, such as what prompted Rose to write their life story."
  • "In 29 years, Rose Darlen has never spent a moment apart from her twin sister Ruby. She has never gone for a solitary walk or had a private conversation. Yet, in all that time, she has never once looked into Ruby's eyes. Joined at the head, "The Girls" (as they are known in the small town) attempt to lead a normal life, but can't help being extraordinary. Rose and Ruby are on the verge of becoming the oldest living craniopagus twins in history, but they are remarkable for a lot more than their age or their unusual sisterly bond."@en
