Description

Divided Minds: A dual memoir of identical twins, one of whom faces a life sentence of schizophrenia, and the other who becomes a psychiatrist.

Told in the alternating voices of the sisters, this is a heartbreaking account of the far reaches of madness, as well as the depths of ambivalence and love between twins. Growing up, Carolyn Spiro was always in the shadow of her more intellectually dominant twin sister Pamela, but as adolescence approached, Pamela's struggles with schizophrenia became increasingly apparent.

Alternating between the sisters' experiences, Divided Minds offers a unique and frank portrayal of identical twins with very different identities and wildly different experiences of the world around them. A true and deeply personal story, this memoir sheds light on the complexities of mental illness and the enduring bond between siblings.
