The Irish Independent on Sunday have reviewed Saskia Sarginson’s The Twins. “The haunting tale of how identical twins grew into such …… different adults is skillfully infused with trauma and tragedy – and sinister suspense,” writes Sle McArdle.

“Sarginson excels at describing the earthy shapes, sounds and smells of forest and sea that are second nature to Issy and Viola.

But painful shadows loom as The Twins cleverly doubles back and forward to fill in the blanks. In many ways it’s a bleak fairytale complete with mythical big bad wolf – the Black Shuck.

The dark threat of this stirring debut is thankfully tempered for the reader by a growing (but uncertain) hope that once scars – mental and physical – are accepted, punishment can cease.

Before their egg split, Viola and Isolte were one person. Tragedy drove the pair apart but, by facing their shared anguish, they have the chance to become whole again.”
