Description

Shortlyafter learning they would become the parents of twins, the physician-writerAmit Majmudar and his wife received a devastating in utero diagnosis: oneof the twins had a potentially fatal congenital heart defect.


Written inthe form of an extended letter, Twin A recounts the epic story of theopen-heart surgeries, complications, and prolonged recoveries that Majmudar'sson survived in infancy and early childhood. But the narrative turns intosomething much richer and more expansive than the mere description of asurgical history. Thanks to Majmudars ample gifts as a wordsmith, medical andscientific information frequently give way to original poetry and fables,family history, and a series of evocative religious and philosophicalreflections about matters of life and death.


The resultis a fresh, captivating exploration of the events that transform his son andeveryone around him. Drawing strength and beauty from catastrophe, Majmudars TwinA creates a moving portrait of a familys love and a childs extraordinary resilience.
