À propos de cet ebook
I know it in my ancient water, that something will happen today...
Today is the 75th birthday of identical twin sisters, Dora and Nora. And on this day their story begins, a richly comic tale of the tangled fortunes of two theatrical families, the Hazards and the Chances. It is in fact, the 23rd April, Shakespeare’s birthday and as Dora’s story unfurls, over the course of a whole century, it is populated with as many sets of twins, mistaken identities and unlikely coincidences as any Shakespeare comedy.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALI SMITH
'It is wise, bawdy, vulgar, eloquent and very, very funny... And the writing is often breathtakingly lyrical... A masterpiece. Please share' Guardian
