Fascinating and beautifully researched and written

Identical Strangers is a beautiful story, extremely well written and heartwarming. The tempo is fast-paced, informative, and pleasant to read. This book will reaffirm all readers' best family values.

I Loved It!!

This is an easy read. Both gals are great writers and the book flows well. I just could not put it down after I started. There is no more fascinating reunion story than one between identical twins finding out after half a lifetime that they had a twin. What an event meeting for the first time. I recommend this to anyone but especially adoptees. I hope they make it into a movie.

Fascinating and moving story

I was absolutely fascinated by this book, the story of twins separated in infancy and reunited 35 years later. It works on many levels. If a reader is interested in identical twins studies, this is a gold mine. If a reader likes a good mystery, here's a real life one. And if a reader likes getting to know interesting people, the two young women who narrate their story are both persons you will likely want to meet.

Both Paula and Elyse are honest and intelligent and courageous....very much alike and yet uniquely individual. I think the most important question the book raises may not be the issues surrounding their separation, though certainly that is important, but what may be more important are the questions it raises about the nature of a "self."

I bought several copies this book as gifts for friends, and they have all recommended it to others. I told the members of my book club about it and several of them bought it. More than one could not put it down.

Page Turning, Heart-warming and Eloquent Adoptee Memoir

As a fellow adoptee who searched and was reunited with a wonderful family many years ago, I found this book one of the best Adoptee Memoirs ever written! It is an insightful, heartwarming, eloquent memoir of two sisters and their quest to uncover the deeper meaning of family, heritage and identity. Written in alternative voices the authors honestly explore their feelings and relationships. A must read for anyone touched by adoption.
