This graphic novel is fantastic. In it, conjoined twins are sold by their parents to a freak show. The girls grow up with a monster of a guardian, but they find a family among the other performers. It all implodes when they attempt surgical separation and one of the girls doesn’t survive. The remaining twin is left struggling to find her place in the world. 

It sounds gloomy, but the story is actually quite uplifting. And the artwork is lovely as well.

At the end of the book, Brown includes an afterward that explains the dark history of those old shows. This added content makes the story that much more impactful. Overall it’s just a great read and I highly recommend it.
