Description
Grace put out her hand, almost touching the mirror. Her image did the same. 'There's another world in there.' 'We could float in and out of it.' Deep in a Derbyshire valley live two girls, twins, so alike they seem like one person, even their family can't tell them apart. But tragedy is waiting. When the valley is sold to be flooded for a huge dam, the villagers are forced to leave their homes. Deep secrets are uncovered. New characters enter their lives and desires, love and grief come to show more the surface. show lessTags

What would you do – if your twin sister drowned & you thought it was your fault – if you became so jealous of someone you tried to kill them but they saved your life instead – if your home was about to be drowned under a new dam? These are the problems facing the villagers living in this valley in the years after World War One. An engrossing, moving novel about love.p.31 –34 When one of the twins slips on a stone, hits her head & drowns in the creek.
