ONE LIFE. LIVED TWICE.
Louis and Louise are the same person born in two different lives. They are separated only by the sex announced by the doctor and a final 'e'.
They have the same best friends, the same red hair, the same dream of being a writer, the same excellent whistle. They both suffer one catastrophic night, with life-changing consequences.
Thirteen years later, they are both coming home.

Fantastic and fascinating story about fate, destiny and the role gender can play in life.
How gender can produce certain preconceptions of what a person can or can't do.
It was the story of Lou Alder, who in one version was born Male and the other female. We see snippets of their younger lives and what they are up to today.
With both their stories there are certain similarities, key happenings and the friendship over the years with Benny and Allie which is so interesting to view.
This is without a doubt an incredibly well written, well researched book that really will get you thinking.
Arguably this is probably the author's best book and it was so unlike others that I have read before.
I don't really want to say much more as its book that will have a greater impact the less preconceptions you have about it. But The Two Lives of Louis and Louise is certainly a story not to be missed.
Thank you to Netgalley and Orion for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
