Her Fearful Symmetry

Audrey Niffenegger

When Elspeth Noblin dies, she leaves everything to the 20-year-old American twin daughters of her own long-estranged twin, Edie. Valentina and Julia, as enmeshed as Elspeth and Edie once were, move into Elspeth's London flat and through a series of developing relationships a crisis develops that could pull the twins apart.

While this novel has unexpected twists and turns, they are subtle enough for even the faint of heart who can't handle intense suspense, like this reader. The book is a pleasant weekend diversion.
