Untwine is the new novel by Haitian author Edwidge Danticat. Set in Miami, it is the story of two identical twin sisters, born holding hands. Sixteen years later, one wakes up in a hospital room unable to speak or move and tries to piece together the tragedy that just befell her family.
A beautifully written novel; a heartbreaking story about loss and finding yourself again. However, I kept hoping something else was going to happen in the story, and when it didn't, I just felt sad at the end of the book. I enjoyed Breath, Eyes, Memory, one of her earlier novels, more.
