Download One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I've Learned About Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular AudioBook Free
Writer. Mother. Wife. New Yorker. Abigail Pogrebin is many things, but the one that has defined her most profoundly is "identical twin." Pogrebin's romantic relationship with her sister-both as children, when these were inseparable, now, when she longs for that easy intimacy-inspired her to look at the trend of twinship, to understand how other equivalent pairs regard their doubleness and what experts are learning about how DNA influences our sense of individuality and styles our lives.IN A SINGLE and the identical, Pogrebin presents a tapestry of twinship, weaving science reporting and personal memoir with the revelatory testimonies of other twins, such as two sisters who halted speaking for three years; football stars Tiki and Ronde Barber, who acknowledge their twinship comes before their marriages; a pair of bawdy, self-proclaimed "twin ambassadors" who've created a marketing empire around their twinness; and brothers whose shared genetic anomaly wrought unspeakable tragedy. In this stirring accounts, Pogrebin shows how living equivalent is both a party of sameness and challenging for singularity that defines us all.
