New technology, new choices . . . but who gets to choose? Conjoined
twins Gordon and Johnny have never let their condition keep them
from living full and fulfilling lives. Gordon looks forward to many
years of closeness and cooperation. Johnny, however, faces their
future with increasing restlessness, even dread. When the boys are
in their teens, the new technologies of accelerated human cloning
and brain transplants are combined into a single medical procedure.
Someone whose body has suffered such extensive damage as to make
normal life impossible may -- with court approval -- be cloned and
then given a brain transplant into the clone body. With Gordon's
unwitting assistance, Johnny realizes that this procedure provides
the chance he had never dared to hope for -- the chance to live in
a "normal," separate body. But Gordon considers their conjoined
life a blessing, rather than a curse. He has no intention of
accepting separation -- not without a fight . . . . Division, like
Wyle's earlier novels, uses original settings and situations to
explore universal themes: the complexity and intensity of family
relationships, the nature of individual identity, and the
far-reaching effects of the choices we make. "In her unique
combination of surreal reality with a twist of scientific fantasy,
Wyle thrusts her themes of family relationships, morality and
choice into another twister of reading fascination. . . . Alluring,
different, highly creative, Wyle demands our attention - her pages
rock the cradle of what humanity means to each of us. . . . An
author to watch." -- The Review Broads " The author took the time
to weave a delicate and sensitive story into a great novel. . . .
M]uch more than science fiction . . . I would recommend this book
to adults and teens alike." -- KeepingDreams Book Reviews "The book
is well written and very well thought out . . . It will appeal to
young and old readers alike. Science fiction, fantasy, young adult,
future or realistic; whatever you want to call it, Division by
Karen Wyle is good reading for all." -- Readers Favorite "Division
is one of the best books I read in 2013. . . . E]xplore s] what
it's like living in the skin of an unusual, unexpected person. . .
. I heartily recommend this book." -- Magic and Mayhem
