Dead on the Bayou
\"Twin sisters and fellow divorcees Sunny Taylor and Eve Vaughn have established their home repair and remodeling business with an eye toward quality and personal attention. So when they're approached by hunky Dave Price to fix up his bayou fishing camp, they're more than happy to take the job--especially since they both secretly think he may prove to be more than just another satisfied customer . . . The ramshackle campsite could certainly use a woman's touch. What it does not need is a dead body--but that's what the trio stumble across. Clearly, the poor soul was murdered-and once the town tongue-waggers get going, Sunny, Eve, and Dave come under suspicion of the police, not to mention potential clients...\"--Back cover.

Half of a yellow sun
Olanna (Thandie Newton) and Kainene (Anika Noni Rose) are glamorous twins from a wealthy Nigerian family. Upon returning to a privileged city life in newly independent 1960s Nigeria after their expensive English education, the two women make very different choices. Olanna shocks her family by going to live with her lover, the \"revolutionary professor\" Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his devoted houseboy Ugwu (John Boyega) in the dusty university town of Nsukka; Kainene turns out to be a fiercely successful businesswoman when she takes over the family interests, and surprises even herself when she falls in love with Richard (Joseph Mawle), an English writer. Preoccupied by their romantic entanglements, and a betrayal between the sisters, the events of their life seem to loom larger than politics. However, they become caught up in the events of the Nigerian civil war, in which the lgbo people fought an impassioned struggle to establish Biafra as an independent republic, ending in chilling violence which shocked the entire world. A sweeping romantic drama, Half of a Yellow Sun takes the sisters and their lovers on a journey through the war which is powerful, intensely emotional and, as the response of readers around the world has shown, it is a story which can touch everyone's heart.

Remembering Cuba's Past / Discovering Its Future: Giving Voice to Memory in Uva de Aragón's The Memory of Silence
As a historical novel, Uva de Aragón's The Memory of Silence explores the divergences and commonalities in the lives of twin sisters separated at the outset of the Cuban Revolution and as such complicates and enriches our understanding of Cuba's future. As the reader re-lives momentous events since the Revolution, one comes to the realisation that the true value of the work lies in its balance of perspective. It would be inaccurate to say that the novel offers an objective view of modern-day Cubans (both those in exile and on the island). Instead, it offers two intentionally subjective views that culminate in a synthesis of understanding: namely, that geo-cultural bonds are greater than geo-political differences. In the end, The Memory of Silence is a book of hope, but a hope that can only be realised once memory has been un-silenced.

The identicals : a novel
Nantucket is only two and a half hours away from Martha's Vineyard by ferry. But the two islands might as well be worlds apart for a set of identical twin sisters who have been at odds for years. Just because twins look exactly the same doesn't mean they're anything alike--and Tabitha and Harper Frost have spent their whole lives trying to prove this point. When a family crisis forces them to band together--or at least appear to--the twins come to realise that the special bond that they share is more important than the resentments that have driven them apart.
