House Across the Hedge Book

Interesting biography of identical twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons. They spoke only to each other, using a secret language. All their movements were synchronized. Things became stranger, and stranger, as they matured. Eventually, they ended up in a psychiatric facility in Berkshire, England, called Broadmoor Hospital.

Through interviews and the twins' diaries, novels, poems, and short stories, the author tries to understand who these young women were. Their prison diaries were filled with minuscule, perfectly neat writing, each page held about 4,000 words! (see photo)



3 Stars = I liked the book. I'm glad I read it.
