Description Supposing Books Beside Myself

Beside Myself is a literary thriller about identical twins, Ellie and Helen, who swap places aged six. At first it is just a game, but then Ellie refuses to swap back. Forced into her new identity, Helen develops a host of behavioural problems, delinquency and chronic instability. With their lives diverging sharply, one twin headed for stardom and the other locked in a spiral of addiction and mental illness, how will the deception ever be uncovered? Exploring questions of identity, selfhood, and how other people's expectations affect human behaviour, this novel is as gripping as it is psychologically complex.

Weigh Up About Books Beside Myself

I thought this was an excellent book. It wasn't at all what I expected, but it turned out to be brilliantly gripping, illuminating and disturbing. It has important things to say about identity, compassion and mental illness.I thought Beside Myself was going to be yet another variation on the old Identical Twins trope in thrillers, but it's actually an acute and powerful portrait of Helen, a troubled young girl whose identity is stripped from her, and her subsequent life as she develops bipolar

This was a difficult book to get interested in because of many reasons. I didn't care for any of the characters, there was so much material that it was hard to follow, and, even though the author's writing was technically good, her style was complicated (and not in a good way). I have been thinking about how to do a review of this book that will even make sense and now that I'm writing it, I feel like I can't write a decent sentence. So Helen and Ellie are twins and decide to switch personas one

There have been many novels penned about twins. So interesting to have two separate personalities who look identical. We cant resist wondering what it would be like. After reading this novel, I NEVER want to find out. I was filled with angst and misgiving much like the feeling I used to get watching old movies where the heroine was committed to a mental hospital when there was nothing wrong with her. The injustice of it all!Smudge is a beguiling and well wrought character that the reader just

3.5 stars: The press for this novel is that its a page-turner and psychological thriller about what makes us who we are. Well, for me, it was more of a deep exploration of bipolar and mental illness.Identical twins, Helen and Ellie decide to try and fool everyone by swapping names when they are 6 years old. Helen was the twin that had it together and was smart. Ellie was the troubled one, who was clumsy and slow-witted. At age six, both had a personality reputation. So when the girls swap, which

Phew that was some read!My View:Powerful! Intense! Confronting! This book has it all. This book was a very difficult read- I read the first fifty pages or so and was in a dilemma to continue or not? I found these first pages strangely horrific the voice of the little girl, Helen, who constantly seeks to teach her a lesson (her being her twin sister Ellie), Helens voice is so nasty and malevolent I considered not reading any further. (And then there was the underlying hint of potential sexual

I had heard about this book when it first was published.It got good hype.Then some very confusing reviews.I thought Id wait until it all died down then forgot about it.Until I realised I should have read this book already.So I dived in.By now most will know the concept of what this book is about.I think it covers some sort of mental awareness to but I struggled with it.The book goes back and forth in time.Thats OK Ive read many books like that but this one isnt with ease for a reader.Ann Morgan

Beside Myself is the story of Ellie and Helen, identical twins, who decide one day to swap clothes and pretend to be each other. Of the two, Helen is the dominant twin and Ellie is slightly weaker one who has learning difficulties and needs looking after. The problem is, when they change clothes Ellie decides she likes being the dominant twin and doesnt want to swap back. Worse still, no one believes Helen when she tries to tell them the truth. Skip forward twenty-odd years and the two girls are
