Described hard but fairly and honestly, reads worse than is! Visually the exterior appearance is still acceptable for a book of it's age,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. 'Entwined' embraces the worlds of the circus,of twinship,of the Nazi death camps,of terrifying madness and deep,passionate,consuming love.Ruda Grimaldi and Vebekka Marechal are locked into a nightmare union,but,tragically,only one can be free, only one can survive. Rebekka and Ruda are twins and have not seen each other since they were separated in Auschwitz,both to suffer at the hands of Dr Josef Mengele.A terrible murder takes place and a police investigation draws the sisters into a web of coincidence,fear and violence.
