Book Review of Her Fearful Symmetry

Her Fearful Symmetry
Cheryl-Sam avatar reviewed on + 39 more book reviews


An interesting story of mirror twins who inherit their aunt's flat in England. Unbeknownst to the twins their aunt is still living there. The dynamic between the twins is interesting as the one twin is very domineering over the other twin and the weaker twin just wants to escape from her. The aunt's ghost is watching over them and finds a way to communicate with them. Soon the aunt and the weaker twin work out a way for her to escape from the dominate one in a very unconventional way.

I found this book to be a good story. Different from any book I ever read, it kept me turning the pages. Some of the reviews called this a love story because of the relationship between the ghost and her lover but I wouldn't call it a love story.

If you read this book, forget that it was written by the author of the Time Traveler's Wife and just enjoy the book on its own merits. This is nothing like TTW but is still a book worthy of being read.
