Rent The Girls

Synopsis

Abandoned at birth by their teenage mother, Ruby and Rose Darlen were raised by a loving nurse who refused to acknowledge their physical oddity: the two girls were joined at the head. Now, at nearly 30 years, the oldest living conjoined twins begin to write their life story. Alternating between Rose's angstful account and Ruby's more practical version, THE GIRLS tells a lyrical and mesmerizing tale of growing up as Siamese-twins in the rural farmlands of Canada. Lori Lansen's novel makes the twins life seem utterly real, and soon surpasses it's peculiar conceit to become a subtle and compelling look into two singular personalities, and the life they are forced to share.
