About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Now a major motion picture starring Letitia Wright.
When identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were three, they began to reject communication with anyone but each other, and so began a childhood bound together in a strange and secret world. As they grew up, love, hate and genius united to push them to the extreme margins of society and, following a five week spree of vandalism and arson, the silent twins were sentenced to a gruelling twelve-year detention in Broadmoor.
Award-winning investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace delves into the twins' silent world, revealing their genius, alienation and the mystic bond by which the extremes of good and evil ended in possession and death.

Slow and overly punctuated for the most part, with an extremely annoying attempt at an American accent for chapters at a time.

A great bit of local history and also a great story about how injustice was done to these girls just because they were different.
