The "spellbinding" (Los Angeles Times) second novel by the
acclaimed author of The Songlines and In Patagonia Lewis and
Benjamin Jones, identical twins, were born with the century on a
farm on the English-Welsh border. For eighty years they live on the
farm--sharing the same clothes, tilling the same soil, sleeping in
the same bed. Their lives and the lives of their
neighbors--farmers, drovers, clergymen, traders, coffin-makers--are
only obliquely touched by the chaos of twentieth-century progress.
Nevertheless, the twins' world--a few square miles of
countryside--is rich in the oddities, the wonders, and the
tragedies of the human experience. In this extraordinary novel,
Bruce Chatwin has captured every nuance of the Welsh landscape and
of the lives and souls of the people who live there.
