Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman with Two Shadows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are lots of books with protagonists who think they’re smart, but the heroine in The Woman with Two Shadows is actually smart.
Not just academically (though she is that, too), and not just quick with the quips, but with the way she approaches her central problem: The disappearance of her twin sister in a town set up specifically to develop nuclear weapons during World War II.
The historical detail is unique, and the self-pity is dialed down to nearly a minimum, which makes it my kind of book!
