In this stunning debut novel, Darin Strauss combines fiction with astonishing fact to tell the story of history's most famous twins. Woven from the fabric of fact, myth, and imagination, Strauss's narrative gives poignant, articulate voice to these legendary brothers and humanizes the freakish legend that grew up around them. Sweeping from the Far East and the court of the king of Siam to the shared intimacy of their lives in America, Chang and Eng rescues one of the nineteenth century's most fabled human oddities from the sideshow of history, drawing from their extraordinary lives a novel of exceptional power and beauty. Book is in excellent condition. Dust jacket has wear and small (1/4") tear to top edge, else fine
