Dear Carolyn --
Division
By Karen A. Wyle
Genre: Fiction: Near-future, Science Fiction, Mainstream
5 of 5 stars
Can two individuals,
joined together before birth, be two separate
individuals?
Conjoined twins,
raised as individuals, yet never being apart. Johnny would like to live a
separate life now that it is possible. Gordon, on the other hand, believes him
and Johnny can and will live together forever.
The author took the
time to weave a delicate and sensitive story into a great novel. It is so much
more than the idea that cloning could be acceptable at some time. It is much
more than science fiction. It is the story of love and relationships between
brothers. It is the story of the delicate threads that bind us together at
times. It is also the story of fear and loathing that sometimes sneaks in to our
relationships.
The author writes a
very serious story with this book. She also writes a story of the love between
brothers, and the battles that sometimes take place. This is a work of fiction,
but who can say that it will not be a work of fact some
day?
I have enjoyed every
one of Karen A. Wyle’s books that I have read. She writes with authority about
subjects that are near to her own heart. I would recommend this book to adults
and teens alike.
