Beside Myself by Ann Morgan. Bloomsbury, 2016. Adult fiction.When six-year-old English twins, Helen and Ellie, decide to play a game and switch places, no one knows. But, Ellie, the slower child, decides not to change back. Smarter, good girl Helen is stranded in her sister's life. Twenty-five years later, a call brings the two sisters together. Alternating between an adult sister's confusing and tragic present life and the little girl she once was, the novel provides psychological insights about what it means to be who you are and whether that can be changed. At times creepy and at times just a great mystery, this debut novel is thought provoking and beautifully written.
