Book - Twins

Twins is a 146 page, perfect bound, 24 x 17cm full colour graphic memoir journeying through Teresa's life and that of her twin brother Adam until age 28 when tragedy struck as Teresa was about to give birth to her first child, Callum.

The theme of twins separating and coming together again forms the backbone of the book. Coming from a large extended family, the quest to start one of her own had long been in the making, but it was not the kind of thing you owned up to at Camden School for Girls, or made easy by a selection of questionable boyfriends.

This is a celebration of extended family life, recently augmented by Callum himself fathering a pair of twins, as if in tribute to Adam: excellent story-telling, drawn with skill and humour.

There's so much to enjoy, it's so honest and relateable, and of course the tragic but also joyous story at the heart of her memoir is what pulls us in and makes it unforgettable.

There's a lot of Posy here, and also a lot of Highbury, with a dash of Nottingham, and all beautifully drawn. (Corinne Pearlman)
