The twins' separation (and one's abandonment of the other) drives much of the action in this book, as does one twin's escape from her abusive husband which leads her back to her hometown. Also, many of the things that happen to the characters in this book are a result of racism, such as people denying them jobs and their father's death at the hands of a mob. Additionally, the main characters' mother dies after suffering from Alzheimer's disease.booksnbarristers's review against another edition

this is one of those book I just bought without knowing anything about it but I had a feeling...I am so glad I have a physical copy I could annotate, truly.
I did not cry like I thought I would but I was angry most of the time with some of the characters, but I love the writing and cannot wait to read more by the author
