What this book is about
Twin siblings Noah and Jude each narrate from different periods of their lives, gradually revealing what fractured their once-inseparable bond. Told in fragments, memories, and surreal imagery, the novel is at once a coming-of-age story about identity and grief, a mystery about what happened between them, and a love story — for life, for art, for each other.
