Nora and Blanche are conjoined twins. Nora is strong, funny,
and deeply independent, thirsting for love and adventure. Blanche,
by contrast, has been asleep for twenty years. Sick of carrying her
sister's dead weight, Nora wants her other half gone for good--a
desire that takes her from San Francisco to London in search of the
Unity Foundation, a mysterious organization that promises to make
two one. But once in England, Nora's past begins to surface in
surprising and disturbing ways, pushing her to the brink of
insanity and forcing her to question her own--and Blanche's--grip
on the truth.
