Separated @ Birth: A True Love Story of Twin Sisters Reunited by Samantha Futerman, Anais Bordier

3.0

The tale of these two Korean twins, separated at birth and adopted out internationally to totally different families (one French, one American) is a compelling story. The book itself, however, is not as compelling, although I can't fault it too much since I think its innately difficult to write a compelling memoir when you're all but 25 years old... In short, the book isn't particularly deep or reflective--and whenever something a little more serious comes up, it's not given as thorough a treatment as it really deserved. The twins have also produced a documentary, Twinsters, about their remarkable story, and I wonder if it is a stronger work than this book--but overall, I still enjoyed reading about this incredible reunion between two sisters.
