S'està carregant… Under Gemini (1976)de Rosamunde Pilcher
![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Flora descubre que su familia le ha ocultado la existencia de una hermana gemela que vive con su madre, a la cual no ha vuelto a ver desde su infancia. Conocer a la alegre y mimada Rose resulta una verdadera revelación. Flora decide acompañar al prometido de Rose en un viaje por Escocia. Muy pronto, se enamorará del verde paisaje y de un hombre tan maravilloso como misterioso. Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, tendrá que hacer frente a una traición capaz de romperle el corazón. Pilcher brings Scotland to life in Under Gemini Flora, unemployed and temporarily homeless, arrives in London and has an incredible surprise. She agrees to a deception for the sake of an old lady, meets some delightful people in Scotland, and (inevitably) falls in love. Great characters and conversation, and it didn't worry me that the plot is perhaps a little too contrived. Eminently re-readable, moving in places, and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended to anyone who likes character-based women's fiction. Every wondered what sort of person you might have been if you had been born into a different family? That question is at the heart of this story revolving around twins separated at birth--one wealthy, amoral and seemingly shallow, the other kind, humble and engaging. Pilcher's great gift is the development of her characters. In this book, she chooses to fully explore only one of the twins but it is, as are most of her books, a satisfying read. Flora and Rose are identical twins who have never met. Rose has been raised by a frivilous mother to be part of the international jet set and Flora has spent her childhood with her father in a quiet cottage. Then, one day, the twins meet.
