Description

Helen and Ellie are identical twins; Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until the day they decide to swap places – a fun game. But Ellie refuses to swap back... and so begins a nightmare. Helen’s toys, friends, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone – lost to a sister who blossoms. Twenty-five years later, Helen receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister's dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist?

Professional reviews

"Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant psychological drama about family and identity - what makes us who we are and how very fragile it can be. “Morgan's book is an unsettling performance. […] It reads like a particularly ingenious misery memoir. […] Impressive.” SUNDAY TIMES “An unsettling, compelling debut about identity and not-so-happy families.” GLAMOUR “This is not just a blisteringly clever novel about identity; it also focuses on the grim hold mental illness can take on sufferers and the challenges they face in an uncaring society.” INDEPENDENT"
