A new edition of Frangello's explosive retelling of Freud's infamous Dora case study

Kirby is a young woman attempting to come to terms with a failed bout of therapy and the truth about her identical twin, Kendra. Since girlhood, Kirby both idolized and envied Kendra, a fearless and charismatic ballet dancer who commanded the attention of everyone in their orbit. In the aftermath of tragedy, Kirby is sent a case study by a former psychiatrist intent on publishing a distorted version of her family's secrets. She responds by using Kendra's private and revealing journals to reconstruct their final months together, as well as her own disastrous time in therapy, to voice her own truth.

Freud's Dora, a young woman whose mysterious symptoms he contentiously chalked up to hysteria, appears at turns in the faces of each twin as they navigate a world of sexuality, familial dysfunction, and possibly-psychosomatic ailments. Reissued with a new foreword by Lidia Yuknavitch, Frangello's groundbreaking early novel brings Dora into a new era.
