ABOUT THE BOOK
The Woman Who Met Herself
What would you do, if you met your double?
Debbie Jones thinks life is an adventure. Even having lost her husband a year ago, she’s ready for whatever the world might throw her way. Being in her sixties doesn’t mean it’s all over for her yet, and she loves her new job doing neighbourhood support for a charity. Then she knocks on a stranger’s front door.
Ruth Waverley doesn’t like surprises. Her life isn’t perhaps all she once dreamed off, but what other options are there for a woman in her sixties? She’s proud of her home and children. And she likes her life well enough. Then she hears someone knocking at the door.
As the door opens, both Ruth and Debbie get the shock of their lives. As their eyes meet – the recognition is instant. Not because they’ve met before. But because they have the same face. They’re completely identical.
And everything is about to change, for both women. In ways they couldn’t possibly imagine…
MY THOUGHTS
Life can get boring, especially as you age, set in your ways the sameness day in and day out can wear on you. There’s not much to look forward to.
But then, purely by chance two women come face to face with each other, they look identical but didn’t know the other existed even though at one time they developed in the same womb, legs and arms entwined.
These women are similar but yet so different, having been adopted with different upbringings they are trying to adjust to finding each other and the consequences of not having had each other in their lives up until this point.
The storyline is eye-opening and interesting. We get a bit of a backstory, and this is really a very emotional read.
I will be reading more by the author.
I was given a complimentary copy of the book.

What a clever premise! Sound like a winner, Deanne!

It really was and the women didn’t realize they were twins until they were in their 60’s so that was another bonus because so many books are about women in their twenties and thirties.

I can’t imagine either, Carla, talk about a shocking eye-opener. I hope you’re able to find this at your library. This is my first go round with the author but since you’ve enjoyed her books before I think I’ll take a look at her back list. You’re welcome and thanks for the recommendation of her back list.

Sounds like a great book!
I met a man who’d had a similar experience. The lady down the block, who had tastes so similar to his own that their families joked about it, turned out to be his twin sister, separated at birth and adopted by different families. He only learned when they were about 50 and he decided to research his origin.

That would be fascinating but a unsettling feeling as well I’d imagine.

Actually, this was a double whammy. His first discovery that he was adopted, and that he had a sister! His parents just told him he was sickly when he was a baby and spent his first months in a local hospital. Knowing this fact helped him a bit to understand why his Dad treated him different than his younger siblings, all born to them.
