The story is about Rose and Ruby who are conjoined twins that are connected at the head. The book is written as if Rose was writing and the book was her autobiography. Ruby contributes chapters to the story as well.The story itself is sweet. Rose tells the reader everything about her life: how her a...
I'll admit straight out that I mostly picked up this book because I'm fascinated by cojoined twins. I can't imagine what it must be like to be that closely linked to another person ALL THE TIME. Reading it made me wonder how close to reality Lori Lansens got, because she's obviously not cojoined her...
This completes my reading of Ms. Lansens books to date. I hope she has another one on the way soon. Rose and Ruby are conjoined twins born in Leaford, Ontario during “the tornado”. Their young unwed mother runs from the hospital and they are adopted by Aunt Lovey (the nurse who helped deliver the...
Rose and Ruby's story is one that keeps you enthralled until the last page. Their birth and subsequent abandonment takes place during a tornado, where their stepmother begins her life-long job of protecting them from the press and crowds. They grow up quietly in a small town, living on a farm where ...
It took me about three weeks to finish reading this book, because I would read it bit by bit every night before bed. In the end, I'm really happy that I read it this way, because it really felt like I was going through this journey with Rose and Ruby. Every night was like a new journal entry, a new ...
This book was sweet, even though it was a little bit all over the place. It was written as an autobiography of craniopagus twins - so the point of view changed from each of the girls and the storyline was random, whatever they felt like writing about at the time.I found myself feeling sorry for the...
At first I liked the idea of including both sisters' voices in the book. It made for a nice structure, with Ruby blurting out the present while Rose plodding unveiled the past, and if Ruby hadn't been there to throw in some excitement, I think I would have left the book unfinished. But having finish...
This is a fictional memoir of conjoined twins, sad and sweet. It is also the love story of their adoptive parents. Each twin writes her own part and part of the fascination is how two people joined at the head can still see events so differently.
Wow...what a great story. Rose and Ruby are conjoined twins, who are sharing the story of their life before they die. Well-written and full of surprises.
