Twins... the very word evokes a sense of awe and
curiosity. Twins inhabit spaces unknown,
unimaginable to most of us. At a time when
multiple births are becoming more and more common, the
wondrous spell of twins remains, as does our fascination
with a relationship like no other. Now, in a
magnificent collection of photographs and original essays,
authors Debra and Lisa Ganz, the well-known owners of Twins
restaurant, provide a rare journey into the secret world of
twins.
In a series of fascinating profiles, 38 sets
of twins speak about their relationships while stunning
photographs illuminate the depth of their
bonds. Meet the Paul twins, so different yet so
alike: Alexandra, former star of the TV series
Baywatch, and her "soulmate," sister Caroline, a
firefighter and critically acclaimed author. . . NFL
football players Ronde and Tiki Barber, who struggle with
separation when they are drafted by rival teams . . .
94-year-old Charles and Eugene Morgenthau, loving lifelong
companions whose memories are richer for having been
experienced together. . . 18-year-old Carrie and Corinne
Badach, who, unlike so many teenagers struggling to be
different, glory in being the same.
From twin
toddlers to twin clowns, from twin psychics to twin
undertakers to a family with an amazing three generations of
twins, this remarkable volume is a rich, evocative tribute
to one of life's most powerful, intimate, and mysterious
relationships.
