Reviews
'The Less You Know the Sounder You Sleep is a searingly frank and sympathetic portrayal of two very different women: Dasha, our narrator, who's smart, sensitive, honest and loving; and her sister Masha who is quite the opposite: vicious, foul-mouthed and psychopathic - and outrageously funny with it ... This novel, while always being an accessible read, offers profound insights into the effects of early deprivation on two very different people, and into the daydreams we nurture in order to survive; it tells us about love in impossible circumstances, and about the loneliness of never actually being alone. And the importance of having something to hope for ... For a second, do yourself a favour and read this wonderful book.' The Scotsman 'A fascinating, heart-breaking tale of what it was like for the twins to be forever "together" - two different people whose destinies were forever entwined, one unable ever to escape the other' Press Association 'That such a compassionate tale has been brought forth is a testament to a tenacious author, who spent 15 years helping the twins unpack their story' Science

Book was in very good condition as described. The only thing I wasn’t impressed by that the book was not mailed in a bubble mailer. It was mailed in a regular plastic wrap mailer bag. The plastic mailer bag was busted open in shipping and my books corner was bent up. The price was fantastic. The shipping time was great. I would definitely buy from the seller again, but I would ask them in advance to ship in a bubble mailer.

  • Insightful Must Read

    This book gives insight to the injustices of individuals and governmental attitudes toward those who appear different than the norm. These conjoined twins were not expected to live so they treated them as specimens, lab rats, not as human beings. The experiments done on them were reminiscent of those done in Germany during WWII.
