Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddys land, both girls harbour their own secrets and dreams – ones that will carry them far from Texas and from each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne will ascend the highest ranks of Parisian society as Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship and service in the streets of Jericó, Colombia. And yet, even as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family and the past are unbreakable.Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, Edmund Whites marvellous novel serves up an immensely pleasurable epic of two Texas women as their lives traverse varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of the Dallas nouveau riche, the airless pretention of the Paris gratin and the strict piety of a Colombian convent.______________Like a waltz that goes out of control, this is a wild, dizzying, joyful romp ...
