The Wondrous and Tragic Life of Ivan and Ivana

by Maryse Condé

Description

In this profound novel from the winner of the 2018 Alternative Nobel Prize, Maryse Condé explores the intense and complex bond between twins Ivan and Ivana. Raised in Guadeloupe, their connection transcends ordinary sibling affection, blossoming into a deep, almost spiritual, understanding of each other. As they navigate adolescence and the complexities of their world, their profound feelings for one another begin to stir a fear that threatens to unravel their shared existence. This is a story about love, identity, and the powerful, sometimes terrifying, nature of human connection.
