I heard about this Audible Original ages ago but am only just now getting around to listening to it. This is also my first time listening to an audiobook by [a:Bahni Turpin|2177387|Bahni Turpin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1327006614p2/2177387.jpg] and am sure it won't be my last. The story centers around twin sisters Cam(elia) and (Ame)Lia's attempts to reclaim a family heirloom from Lia's now-former husband. The story flows between past and present, as the reader learns more about how Lia's ex-husband has ended up with this precious heirloom and the twins' relationship. A lot is packed into this slim package and will leave you thinking after the story ends.

This novella by the eminent Tayari Jones was free to me through the Audible Plus program. I started listening when I woke around 2 AM last night — and then was wide awake for the full hour and 20 minutes of the audio (and well beyond). It's a sweet story and the narration is superb. Just what I needed. I've loved everything I've read by this author.

The title seems a little obscure to me — not sure what it refers to.

I wish it were longer. As an identical twin myself, I wanted more.
