Shane Willing has an identical twin brother, Barry. But why is it that Barry’s life is not dogged by the same crippling misfortune as his twin’s? Dual Carriageway (Sid Harta, 15 October, $24.95), is a fictional study of the unique relationships between twins – the implicit awareness, the shared chemistry and the peculiar differences.
Separated by distance but sharing similar goals at work and at play, the off-duty hours of the brothers are spiced up in humorous and saucy situations which pepper the novel. But when a twist of fate simultaneously steps into both their lives does it set in motion the possibility of a new start- or is it déjà vu?
Written by Melbourne author John Considine, Dual Carriageway is a fascinating and often very funny exploration of sibling struggles and relationship reversals where all is not what it appears to be.
