Untwine by Edwidge Danticat launches you into the devastation an accident brings to identical twins Isabelle and Giselle and doesn't let go until the last page. This is a story of grief and loss which transcends all explanations of why and all cultural boundaries. The lyrical writing draws you into Giselle's grief so deeply and so intensely. At time, I see her grief at a distance, and at times, I am Giselle, feeling each moment.
