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 …more 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!!!! (less)
