Description

One and the Same : My Life As an Identical Twin and What I've Learned About Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular, Paperback by Pogrebin, Abigail, ISBN 0307279626, ISBN-13 9780307279620, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Journalist Abigail Pogrebin is many things—wife, mother, New Yorker—but the one that has defined her most profoundly is “identical twin.” As children, she and her sister, Robin, were inseparable. But when Robin began to pull away as an adult, Abigail was left to wonder not only why, but also about the very nature of twinship. What does it mean to have a mirror image? How can you be unique when somebody shares your DNA? In One and the Same , Abigail sets off on a quest to understand how genetics shape us, crisscrossing the country to explore the varied relationships between twins, which range from passionate to bitterly resentful. She speaks to the experts and tries to answer the question parents ask most—is it better to encourage their separateness or closeness? And she paints a riveting portrait of twin life, yielding fascinating truths about how we become who we are.

  2. Book was new (as advertised) and priced fairly. I thought it could have been shipped by a more expeditious means for about the same money, but it was well packaged and arrived in good shape. The "slowness" in delivery was due to the delivery service the seller chose to use and was not due to a lack of timeliness on the seller's part. I would be glad to buy from this merchant again and I would recommend them to other eBay book shoppers.

  3. This unique book was priced quite reasonable. The book was advertised as new and arrived in mint condition and in the highest authentic hard cover quality. It Packaging was very good when mailed. I also find communicating with the seller during the shipping process, which was a bit of a wait for a very hard to find book, was very prompt and inspired trust. I highly recommend this seller and will return for future purchases.
