  Conjoined twins have long been a subject of fantasy, fascination, and freak shows. This book presents African American twins born in 1851, and Daisy and Violet Hilton, English twins born in 1908 as they speak for themselves through memoirs that help us understand what it is like to live physically joined to someone else.
