Twins is a quintessentially English coming of age graphic memoir about family, memory and the post war generation, capturing the fragility of life with warmth, wit and quiet emotion.
Teresa and her twin brother Adam grew up inseparable. They were creative, unruly, and shaped by bohemian parents who first fell in love designing theatre sets in the 1950s. Raised on art over ambition and family over money, the twins stick out wherever they go, but they always have each other.
As Teresa stumbles through squats, unsuitable men, and the slow business of growing up, one thing never wavers: Adam is always there. Then, just as she's expecting her first child, he is killed in a motorbike accident at 28, and the story becomes something else entirely: a reckoning with grief, fate, and the strange, quiet signs that seem to follow in his wake.
Spanning six decades, Twins is a warm, funny, and unflinchingly honest account of one family's unravelling and remaking - of babies becoming parents, of loss folding into renewal, and of a bond that death cannot quite sever.
