You may have a huge TBR pile but a new one all of a sudden takes all your interest. <BR/>I cannot imagine the roller coaster of emotions they must have felt (still feeling). Sounds like a fascinating book and how neat that they also pursued similar careers.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-77401238181323735512008-07-03T19:52:00.000+01:002008-07-03T19:52:00.000+01:00Danielle - it's illegal now for adoption services ...Danielle - it's illegal now for adoption services to separate twins, I believe, or even siblings. Thank goodness someone saw the light!<BR/><BR/>The photo of them on the backcover makes them look very dissimilar - but look at them on youtube (OV's link may not work, but thanks Dad! Youtube 'Elyse Paula' and I think it'll turn up) - and they are certainly identical.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-26641369024236258472008-07-03T17:06:00.000+01:002008-07-03T17:06:00.000+01:00There is an interview with the two ladies athttp:/...There is an interview with the two ladies at<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gwnzW4jOMI&feature=related<BR/><BR/>they were recently on BBC radio 4.<BR/><BR/>We are pleased, Si, that we didn't separate you and the CC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-91493597095546234412008-07-03T13:56:00.000+01:002008-07-03T13:56:00.000+01:00How strange that they decided to separate identica...How strange that they decided to separate identical twins--I can't imagine that would be benficial for them. What year were they adopted? 35 years ago doesn't seem all that long ago, but maybe this sort of thinking was still going on in the 70s. Surely agencies don't do that sort of thing now. Perhaps they thought it would be easier to adopt one child rather than a pair? It is a fascinating topic, though.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-34469403423904551762008-07-03T01:08:00.000+01:002008-07-03T01:08:00.000+01:00Simon, I read this right at the end of 2007 and re...Simon, I read this right at the end of 2007 and really, really liked it. It moved very quickly I thought, helped by the 'mystery' involved, and I was overwhelmed by the last portion of the book. After I read it I watched some videos of the sisters together. Amazing stuff. Oh, wanted to mention that my cousin is Jewish and grew up just outside NYC. I suspect he was adopted via the same agency as these sisters. Sadly, he suffers from mental illness which perhaps was passed on and his adoptive parents were not told about.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.com
