5/22/2023 0 Comments One book sarah crossan![]() ![]() ![]() Little details like this make the reader realise how hard life must be for Grace and Tippi. ![]() When Grace has the flu, Tippi is confined to bed beside her even though she is perfectly healthy. Some times their personalities clash but they can’t stay annoyed with each other for long as each relies on the other to help them walk, sit down, and lots of other things. And when Tippi wants to drink and smoke Grace finds herself longing to have complete control of her own body and not have to share it. We feel her resentment when Tippi eats more and more and Grace finds herself getting chubbier when it’s not her fault. This novel is written from Grace’s point of view, which is effective as we learn to see the world from her eyes. But now, they are growing up and they are developing different opinions and don’t always agree. But to Grace and Tippi, it’s all they’ve ever known and they’ve adjusted to it. To say the least it would be tiring and difficult and frustrating. Just think - eating together, sitting on the same chair and being constantly by their side. I imagine it as being a little like doing a three legged race with a friend, except not for a few minutes but for life. This makes things which most of us find simple – walking, playing sports – a real challenge. ![]() Their upper bodies remain separate, but their lower bodies begin to merge at the intestines so they share a pair of legs between them. ![]()
