The Foursome  by Christina Baker Kline

"The Foursome is a triumph of empathy and imagination, a wildly engaging, morally-complex story made even richer by Christina Baker Kline’s fascinating connection to the real-life Chang and Eng Bunker."
—Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins

“Christina Baker Kline is a masterful storyteller with an extraordinary subject in The Foursome. Chang and Eng can literally never be apart, which means that their wives—Addie and her sister Sarah—are also held in an impossible proximity to each other. What a wonderful study of intimacy of all kinds, of love and tolerance, of growing together and growing apart. In short, of what it is to be human.”
—Ann Napolitano, bestselling author of Hello, Beautiful

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christina Baker Kline comes a boldly original reimagining of the astonishing true story of two sisters in nineteenth-century North Carolina—Kline’s own distant relatives—who married world-famous conjoined twins from Siam.
