She and I

By Eileen Lottman

Book Overview

I am joined at the hip to my Nemesis, the person I hate most in the world, writes Sandy Lazarus. Sibling rivalry reaches a painful and very funny high in this story of Siamese twins. As Sandy and Sheila struggle through a small-town childhood and marriage into fashionable New York society, Sandy's sense of humor gets her through, until the years of barely suppressed rage erupt violently in this deeply engrossing novel about families, denial, and being different.

Customer Reviews

Read the first release, 1991

Originally read the book in 1991. I was on a mission to read all the new releases at the library that summer, so I came across this one by chance. Recently, I looked this book up, then couldn't find it, so I thought maybe I'd misremembered its existence. Hard to find before it's paperback release. This was a book before it's time! Very strange and engrossing, like a David Lynch movie.

funny and realistic

I got this book on sale and found it to be a very good book. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the incidents , and also found it very intersting. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I have loaned it to all of my friends who like to read, and they also found the book a very good read. buy it! You won't be sorry.

unforgettable

I read this book a number of years ago and just can't get it out of my mind. Eileen Lottman is a master writer who is unbelievably adept at getting into the mindset of her characters. She writes as if she herself has experienced the excruciating life of a siamese twin. The story of how these twins (both girls) grow up and become women is facinating. We even hear of their first sexual experiences. If you have a super curious mind and enjoy a story quite odd, you will LOVE this book.
