"Inseparable like. Mind you, they're allus up to mischief.""But they're not bad kids, though, are they?" Mrs Kenyon would chime in. "See them together and you really would think they were twin brothers.""Like two peas in a pod" Mrs Haydock would say.How can the fortunes of two boys, whose start in life is near identical, diverge so dramatically? Will their bond survive? Thomson explores their complex relationship with deft plotting and nimble prose.
