The Sisters Antipodes (Hardcover)

Description:

With this memoir, Jane Alison challenges Augusten Burroughs and Jeannette Walls for the dubious title of strangest domestic childhood ever. In 1965, the Alison family, then living in Australia, fatefully encountered an American family with a history and composition eerily similar to their own--a father who was an international diplomat, a vivacious young mother, and two young daughters. Jane even shared a birthday with the youngest girl from the other family. The two foursomes became fast friends, but their coincidental camaraderie quickly developed into a deeper connection, until the spouses decided to trade places--permanently. Along with her sister and mother, Jan departed for America, with a new doppelganger daddy. This unique familial transposition triggered some odd behavioral responses from everyone involved, as documented in this riveting recollection.
