《双生石》内容简介

　　我们的出生是一场灾难，身为修女的母亲难产而死，而医术精湛的父亲抛下我们，音信全失。尽管如此，我们仍旧继承了父亲的平凡与天才、天真与世故、热情与漠然，彼此互补也互斥。出生时被迫分割，年少时形影不离。直到发生了那件事，彷佛一把背叛的利刃，把我、弟弟湿婆和我深爱的珍妮特三人紧密的关系生生割裂。多年后我才明白，如果一味埋藏对父亲的想念和憎恨、对珍妮特未竟的情感，以及我与湿婆遭遇的波折，我将无法好好地踏出下一步。

"Twin Stone" content introduction

Our birth was a disaster. Our mother, a nun, died in childbirth, and our father, a skilled doctor, abandoned us and lost all information. Still, we inherited our father's ordinariness and genius, innocence and sophistication, enthusiasm and indifference, complementing and excluding each other. Separated at birth, inseparable as a child. Until that incident, like a knife of betrayal, ripped apart the close bond between me, my brother Shiva and my beloved Janet. It took me years to realize that I would not be able to move forward properly if I buried my missing and hating my father, my unfinished feelings for Janet, and my difficulties with Shiva.
