Book description
This is the astonishing tale of June and Jennifer Gibbons, identical
twins whose silent, antisocial exterior hid a rich, vast, creative life.
From their early childhood through their twenties, they spoke only to
each other in a secret language, building an elaborated fantasy life.
From their self-imposed isolation, they were catapuled into the hormonal
havoc of adolescence - plunging into a wild spree that ultimately led to
their incarceration in a hospital for the criminally insane.

health charity, which she helped to found.
Marjorie Wallace (Countess Skarbeck) is married and lives in London
with her three sons, Sacha, Stefan and Justin, and daughter, Sophia Augusta.
