她的對稱靈魂

當妳看著鏡中自己，等於看見了我。但他愛的是鏡子前的妳，還是鏡中的我？

這是兩對雙胞胎的故事。

艾絲沛和艾蒂是生長於倫敦的雙生姊妹。二十年前，就在艾絲沛與傑克成婚前夕，未婚夫與艾蒂私奔，兩姊妹從此不相往來。艾蒂和傑克在美國重新開啟生活，生下可人的茱莉亞與華倫婷娜，過著看似幸福的日子。而茱莉亞與華倫婷娜是罕見的對稱雙胞胎，她們心靈相通，同進同出，彷彿過著同一個人生。只是，當華倫婷娜愛上艾絲沛的年輕愛人，她渴望成為獨立的個體、她希冀擁有自己的人生，而不僅是雙胞胎的其中一人……這是兩對雙胞胎的故事，她們明明是兩個人，卻總被認為是一體。

看著彼此，她們看見的究竟是對方？還是自己？

At last ---another brilliant, original and moving novel from the author of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE. Julia and Valentina Poole are normal American teenagers - normal, at least, for identical 'mirror' twins who have no interest in college or jobs or possibly anything outside their cozy suburban home. But everything changes when they receive notice that an aunt whom they didn't know existed has died and left them her flat in an apartment block overlooking Highgate Cemetery in London. They feel that at last their own lives can begin ...but have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them, and even to their aunt herself, who never got over her estrangement from the twins' mother - and who can't even seem to quite leave her flat...With Highgate Cemetery itself a character and echoes of Henry James and Charles Dickens, HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY is a delicious and deadly twenty-first-century ghost story about Niffenegger's familiar themes of love, loss and identity. It is certain to cement her standing as one of the most singular and remarkable novelists of our time.
