The Girls by Lori Lansens

by Kara

The Girls is the fictional first person account of conjoined twins Rose and Ruby Darlen. This one grabbed my attention from the first page and is now one of my all time favorites. As I was reading it, I had a hard time remembering this was a work of fiction. It's that well written. Some of you might take interest in the fact that Rose and Ruby are conjoined librarians. If you've enjoyed things like The Time Traveler's Wife, The Lovely Bones, & A Prayer for Owen Meany, you'll love this. It's a beautiful story. I own a copy, if anyone living in the area would like to borrow mine.
