Publisher's Summary

Short-listed for the 2016 Giller Prize

Selected for Indies Introduce Summer/Fall 2016

Catherine Leroux's first novel, translated into English brilliantly by Lazer Lederhendler, ties together stories about siblings joined in surprising ways. A woman learns that she absorbed her twin sister's body in the womb and that she has two sets of DNA; a girl in the deep South pushes her sister out of the way of a speeding train, losing her legs; and a political couple learn that they are nonidentical twins separated at birth. The Party Wall establishes Leroux as one of North America's most intelligent and innovative young authors.

Catherine Leroux was born in 1979 in Montreal, Quebec, where she continues to live and write.

what just happened?

The story itself is quite interesting, lots of plots and weaving. but the ending? Was that it? I don't feel that I necessarily need closure but some tying up of some of the characters would have been nice. The reader sounds like she is just learning to read and is obliged to read in front of a class, with the cadence of someone who just wants to get the words out. But if u look past that, and the fact that the story has no real ending, it has the bones of a good story.
