Double Take

A pair, a set, a perfect match, people seemed to so quickly think . like twins were a tribe of two with a secret understanding, existing in a self-contained, mysterious world .'Growing up, the Marshall twins seemed to be ideal siblings. Yet when you're so akin to someone else, who are you, really? Candy discovers a gift for music, yet in nearly every aspect of her life, Jeff is there - pre-empting, mirroring. To work out who she genuinely is, Candy begins to believe she must separate from her brother for good. To do so would be at what grave cost?This is a novel that ranges over everything from the push for creativity to the dynamics of family, from grotty student flats to fiery politics, from eating disorders to the convolutions of sexuality and first love.
