 Haunting December 19, 2008
Mrs. P. J. Johnson
If you are looking for a typical Lynda la Plante book this is not it. This is much more of an emotive story rather than a fast paced thriller. The book quickly draws you in by creating a mystery between the two lead characters. As you read on through the book there is a gradual dawning realisation that something horrific is unfolding but you are not entirely sure what it is. The climax of the book is truly emotional/disturbing and it moved me to the point of tears, something a book has never done before.
Read it and weep!
This is at number 1 of my top 5 books.

Not a typical plot line for Lynda La Plante, this one. She gave it a good try but I'm not convinced she totally pulled it off. Twins seperated during the holocaust, reunited later on in life. They have followed very different paths but are both still haunted by their experiences in the camps.
I quite enjoyed this book and it is moving at times, particularly when recounting the girl's experiences at the hands of Dr Joseph Mengals. These characters may not be real, but the "angel of death" certainly was and his cruelty and evil knew no bounds.
But- I did not find either of the twin's particularly likeable. After all, one of them is a murderer and the other a wealthy selfish baroness. Their husbands are equally unlikeable- feckless weak men out for themselves only.
Yes, it does keep you turning the pages, but is also extremely unrealistic. I'm referring here to the lion tamer element of it NOT the camps. Lunda La Plante does paint an effective and realistic picture of these but the twins themselves are like something straight out of a Mills and Boon novel.
You will enjoy this book but it is not the masterpiece other reviewers would have you believe.

I'd never read Lynda LaPlante before this, though I'm familiar with the Prime Suspect TV-series based on her characters. Going by 'Prime Suspect' I expected 'Entwined' to be gritty; I had no idea to expect a story that would affect me as much as it did. This is a deeply painful tale about twins girls interned as toddlers in a Nazi concentration camp and how what they endured there at the hands of Josef Mengele impacted the rest of their lives, not least their separation when Auschwitz was eventually liberated. (Mengele was WWII's most infamous concentration camp doctor, nicknamed the Angel of Death by those he tortured.) 'Entwined' weaves past and present together hauntingly and heartbreakingly with characters all too human in their frailties.

A fanatstic book that you cant put down, a great combination of disturbing facts combined with great fiction. A story telling the lives of twins seperated at the end of world war 2 when they were released from a nazi concentration camp. There are some complex characters and different sub plots that all come together in the end, as well as intriguing mystery and interesting twists i.e the detectives senile father (I won't tell you why so as not to spoil it) The book also gives a great insight into the nazi regime and also the effects on Berlin of knocking down of the wall - an education!

As an American I became interested in Lynda La Plante as the author of Prime Suspect as I watched it on WGBH/ PBS in Boston, Massachusetts. Having loved mysteries from age 11 on I had only read Agatha Christie mysteries from a British author. However, as I was traveling to England every year for a period of ten years, I always bought books there often buying a small bag to take home on the flight. I tried to find every book Lynda La Plante had written. Some of them have been published in the USA and I've bought and read those. I have tried to interest other Americans in her books. She has a direct method of writing, with unexpected twists and turns that I always find fascinating. Of all of her books I found "Entwined" to be the best! I couldn't put it down. These two women are telepathic twins who were separated at birth but as the story proceeds their lives once again become "Entwined"! READ THIS BOOK!
