Illuminating some of the most fraught and common issues confronting women, this is a powerful, emotionally resonant story about Rose and Lily Winters--twins who are so close they can feel each other's emotions. But their connection can be destructive. Like most women, the twins have struggled with their bodies and food since childhood. Now, the adult Rose is living in a rehabilitation facility for anorexics. Lily, her sole visitor, is struggling, too. A kindergarten teacher, she dates abusive men, in search of the close yet complicated companionship she lost when she became separated from Rose.
