by EVE Blissful confusion
I loved this book but am obsessing over trying to figure out who is who! Who did Jack really marry? Who really is the mother of Julia and Valentina. Why did Elspeth and Edie switch places - because of the pregnancy? Which E really had the twins? And why or how could the biological mother give up her babies? Elspeth is described as being the controlling, conniving twin - but it sounds like the Es made the swith and Edie moves to London, gives up her twins and becomes Elsbeth and the one who turns out to be the controlling, devious one who died and the real mother of Julia and Valentina? The real Elsbeth then moves to Chicago to become Jack's wife and mother of the twins. At the end of the book we find out that Jack knows he has been living with Elsbeth all these years. Robert becomes the loser in the relationship - where does he go? Does he go back to London or does he commit suicide? Short of emailing the author to find out who is really who, I am still so confused!!!!

by Melissa (Books R Us) A ghost story
I enjoyed most of the book and the ghost story theme. There were parts of the book that dragged on, and some of the characters became boring. I was tempted to stop reading but I continued on. The character I liked the best was Martin( who has OCD ) and I was able to understand him. Although he had his problems, he was a decent and funny man. I am happy that I finished the book because there were some twists in the storyline that I did not expect and the ending was bizarre. The book was good if you can get through the boring parts.
The first biography of Clarence Birdseye, the eccentric genius inventor whose fast-freezing process revolutionized the food industry and American agriculture.
