Twins who leave home at 16. One passes as white the other colored. Each life separate but still haunted by memories. Choices made by each finally leads to a meeting so 20 years later when their daughters meet. Books provides excellent characters and many things to think about. Perfect for the time we live in now.

From stone to computer the history of war and books. Knowledge is power and the author illustrated how each new conquerer gets rid of books to establish new thinking. Only first I am aware of that was not included was the San Francisco fire of 1986. Most interesting read.
