Twins

by Roxanne Pulitzer

Published 1991ISBN 978-0-3453-6245-2

No woman could resist Dexter, gorgeous king of the jet set. Beautiful, talented photographer Anne Graham fell under his seductive spell, and when she won his love, she gained entrance to the extravagant, exclusive world of Palm Beach society. The birth of her beautiful twin daughters made her fairy tale marriage complete. Then it all began to fall slowly, torturously, apart. Behind Dexter's dazzling smile lay the ruthless heart of a man driven by lust, greed, and revenge. A man who would wield power to manipulate both Palm Beach society - and the law - to destroy her. At the center of the scandal are Carrie and Gracie - twins who have shared everything, even the same man. Born into a world where "in" is everything - intoxicating, indulgent, insane, even incestuous-they've grown up fast. Now they're headed for a collision course with fate, as Roxanne Pulitzer takes you into the world she knows so well and proves once again that even the very rich can't hide all their secrets. 311 pages

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Preview the edition to decide how it fits your available reading time.

Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
  2. Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
  3. What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
