Book description
To look at one was to see the other. For family, even the girls' own
father, it was a constant guessing game. For strangers, the suprise
was overwhelming. And for twins Olivia and Victoria, coming of age at
the turn of the century, their bond was mysterious,marvellous, and
often playful - a secret realm only they inhabited.
Shy, serious Olivia, born eleven minutes before her sister, had
taken over the role of mother in their lush New York estate.
Free-spirited Victoria wanted to change the world, and embraced the
women's suffrage movement, dreaming of sailing to war-torn Europe.
Then, in the girls' twenty-first year, as the First World War
escalated overseas, a fateful choice changed their lives forever.
Handsome lawyer Charles Dawson came into their lives to try to save
the reputation of Victoria, whose life was about to become a public
scandal. Still mourning the death of his wife aboard the Titanic,
struggling to raise his nine-year old son, Charles was determined
never to lose his heart again. An irrevocable step took one of the
twins to the battlefields of France, and the other into a marriage she
longed for but thought she could not have.
From Manhattan society to the trenches of war-torn France, Mirror
