This is truly a story too strange and weird to make up, but Bernstein and Schein's dual chronicle of how they discovered they were identical twins separated at birth - and what this meant, and how they could track down the mother who gave them up - is incredible and disturbing in the questions it raises about practices once considered normal. Who knows what memoirs will ensue from what we think is normal and might be deemed crazy 40 years from now?
