A fanatstic book that you cant put down, a great combination of disturbing facts combined with great fiction. A story telling the lives of twins seperated at the end of world war 2 when they were released from a nazi concentration camp. There are some complex characters and different sub plots that all come together in the end, as well as intriguing mystery and interesting twists i.e the detectives senile father (I won't tell you why so as not to spoil it) The book also gives a great insight into the nazi regime and also the effects on Berlin of knocking down of the wall - an education!

Format:Paperback
The book, set in 1990, concerns the lives of twin sisters separated at the age of 4, following traumatic experiences in a nazi concentration camp. Their tragic past is revealed slowly as the book uncovers the traumas that they are dealing with in their current lives, and their attempts to live 'normal' lives. The book is set in 1990 Berlin i.e just after the fall of the wall and entwines a gripping novel and murder mystery with a very moving human story in which the sisters eventually meet again.

A sad tale of identical twins subjected to diabolical experiments both mentally & physically. Although they were separated at a young age & led very different lives, their close mental ties continue to influence them throughout their lives.
The main story takes place in a rather dreary setting but La Plante manages to produce a riveting story as only she knows how, no silly metaphors just straight to the point. She grips the reader from the start with her gift of intrigue in revealing a very dramatic story which one would hope is fiction but can't help wondering how many actually did suffer this kind of fate.
I would have rated this 5 stars but for the disturbing subject of the story, anything by Lynda La Plante is worthy of 10*+.

Lynda LaPlante
I thought I would give my mum a change from Martina Cole and get her a stocking filler by Lynda Laplante instead hope she likes it.

Entwined by Lynda LaPlante
I wasn't sure when I started to read this book if I was going to enjoy it, but the more I read the more engrossed I became and I couldn't wait to get to the end.
