Twins Stasha and Pearl are part of Mengele's Zoo where he conducts experiments on twins to see how the other is influenced by the changes. When the sisters are separated and believe each other dead, they each seek their own path after being liberated. Stasha, hopes that Pearl still lives, but longs to kill Mengele. Pearl, just seeks to recover and survive. The language in this book is pure poetry. It is beautifully written, which is a stark contrast to the darkness of the tale. Both girls are well drawn and the story is heartbreaking. You can't help but cheer for them and wish them escape from the horrors of Mengele's lab.
