26a is a semi-autobiographical novel by British author Diana Evans. In an attic room in London, two identical twins grow up together, sharing everything, and avoiding the unhappiness of their parents below. On a trip to Nigeria to visit their Mother's family, unexpected events lead to the first secrets between them, and their lives begin to slowly drift apart.
Beautifully written, Evans is a master of using language in new and creative ways. Poetic, full of humor, tragedy, and also hope. A stunning debut.
