{"product_id":"lori-lansens-the-girls-2006-paperback","title":"Lori Lansens: The Girls [2006] paperback","description":"'I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone.  I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to a beguiling moon. I've never used an aeroplane bathroom.  Or worn a hat.  Or been kissed like that...So many things I've never done, but oh, how I've been loved.  And, if such things were to be, I'd live a thousand times as me, to be loved so exponentially' The girls, Rose and Ruby Darlen, were both joined at the head (craniopagus twins) in a rural farming community in 1974.  Abandoned by their frightened teenage mother, they are adopted by the eccentric nurse who attended their birth, and her husband, a gentle immigrant butcher.  The sisters attempt to lead a normal life, but can't help being extraordinary.  Now almost thirty, Rose and Ruby are on the verge of becoming the oldest living craniopagus twins in history.  Rose has a passion for writing, and The Girls is her version of life as a conjoined twin. Rose and Ruby are attached at the head, but their struggles and triumphs remind us that connection is central to us all.","brand":"Lansens, Lori","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51422248796499,"sku":"9781844083657","price":17.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":51422248763731,"sku":"XG81844083657","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/lansens-lori-lori-lansens-the-girls-2006-paperback-1178711874.jpg?v=1752793534","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/lori-lansens-the-girls-2006-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
