The twin

Number of pages: 308 pages Publisher: Al-Matbouaat Company It is one of the rare novels, a loser definitely for those who do not read it. Full of life and truth. Transmitted in a narrative form that does not allow the reader to take a moment’s break... This is how the Irish Times described the novel "The Twins" by the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award winner Gerbrund Baker. This work presents a social topic manifested in an enchanting description of a family relationship based on conflict among its members through reliance on values and an attempt to break them. The novel tells the story of a family living on a rural farm, distant and quiet, governed by a domineering father who separates the twin sons until one of them is lost. This story comes within an enchanting narrative atmosphere that takes the breath away and pushes the reader, like the heroes, to fall into a dichotomy between the "ego" and the "self."
