Q & A
 Q: Do you think all twins share
a slightly magical bond that transcends sisterhood? Do
you think identical twins might experience it more
than fraternal twins? And is that special twin language
really true or an old wives tale? (Thea
McGinnis)
TW: I don’t know that all twins share
a special bond, but I’ve read enough about twins who
say they do to write about it without worries. One
of the most interesting books I found was the slim
and accessible Twin Stories by Susan Kohl. Twin
Stories is filled with first-hand accounts by
twins—their struggles with separateness, unexplained
phenomena and the gap left when one twin dies before
another.
“Twin speak,” aka cryptophasia or idioglossia, definitely
exists. You can learn more about it in Kohl’s book
or HERE.
