The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins

The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins

Summary

From the number one bestselling author of Trainspotting

Meet Lucy Brennan – an aggressive personal trainer who has just become a media hero after taking down a would-be gunman in Miami.


The one witness to the daring rescue is Lena Sorensen – an overweight depressive who is becoming increasingly obsessed with Lucy…


Irvine Welsh’s latest creation captures the two great obsessions of our time – how we look and where we live – and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.

Reviews

  • [Welsh] has never written with greater verve... This is a novel packed with energy.
