Someone Else's Twin by Nancy L Segal
The combination of a riveting true story and cutting-edge twin research makes this book an irresistible page-turner. Identical twins Bego a and Delia were born thirty-eight years ago in Spain's Canary Islands. Due to chaotic conditions at the hospital or simple human error, the unthinkable happened: Delia was unintentionally switched with another infant in the baby nursery. This fascinating story describes in vivid detail the consequences of this unintentional separation of identical twin sisters. The author considers not only the effects on these particular sisters, but the important implications of this and similar cases for questions concerning identity, familial bonds, nature-nurture, and the law.
Nancy Segal is a professor in the Department of Psychology at California State University, and the director of the Twin Studies Centre.
