Her Fearful Symmetry reviewed by Mary Skoglund

This is a ghost story – well written and hard to put down. The apartment building bordering London’s Highgate Cemetery is where the mirrored twins, Julia and Valentina Poole, live out their twenty-first year. Their apartment was willed to them from their estranged Aunt Elspeth Noblin’s estate.They never met their estranged English aunt, only knew that their mother, Edwina Noblin, was her twin. The story tells of the twin girls intense attachment to one another. Then in the end a ghostly thing happens to one of them that changes everything.

The book is full of interesting characters, British slang and images of life in London. The characters are so real and the story believable. You decide if you believe in ghosts. A strange, magical, entertaining story by Audrey Niffenegger author of The Time Traveler’s Wife.
