(W/A) Gabriel Ba, Fabio Moon. Twin brothers Omar and Yaqub may share the same features* but they could not be more different from one another. After a brutally violent exchange between the young boys* Yaqub is sent from his home in Brazil to live with relatives in Lebanon* only to return five years later as a virtual stranger to the parents who bore him* his tensions with Omar unchanged. Family secrets engage the reader in this profoundly resonant story about identity* love* loss* deception* and the dissolution of blood ties.
