I'll go back and start with the first book; I'm pleased to discover that there are three so far and to know that the series is continuing. As for doppelgängers, I can easily believe that they exist just because of the number of humans out there. I have never met or heard of a double of me, but there's some Ukrainian background in our family, and my sister Natasha has twice seen photographs in the media of Russian little girls that look very much like her when she was a child (and I can confirm that she isn't just fantasizing, since I've seen the pictures.) It's an odd phenomenon. I enjoyed The Likeness very much, and I'm looking forward to BLOW UP! Good luck with it.KimHaysBernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726133115831908758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82462363523465970172023-05-02T18:01:54.680-04:002023-05-02T18:01:54.680-04:00Yay - another Sophie book!

She, my sister, aunt & several other relatives on that side strongly resemble each other.<br /><br /> I did have someone with the same name as me in my hometown which is odd considering my somewhat uncommon Czech last name. I occasionally got calls intended for her ( from bill collectors, I am sorry to say). I had to convince them they had the wrong person.

But, and this goes back more than 25 years, when my Dad and Stepmother were on their honeymoon in Italy, they claim there was someone who looked just like me at their campground--even down to the red hair with black tips!

All my adult life I've been asked by strangers if I have a sister (I don't) because I look just like someone they know. My brother, my only sibling, and I had a double cousin (two of the Caldwell girls married Bowlin boys) who, in spite of his being a redhead and me a brunette looked more like me than my brother, but we three shared many traits and mannerisms. ~ LyndaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-69506587327290818162023-05-02T14:42:45.511-04:002023-05-02T14:42:45.511-04:00Congratulations, Ellen!

I very much enjoyed Tana French's The Likeness--although she left the door open to the protagonist actually being related to her doppelganger. I've never met mine, but I was struck by the phenomena in the past. A close friend was dating a man who works at the same place as me. Sadly, it did not work out, my friend moved away. Years later I was invited to a wedding and was placed at a table at the reception with my friend's ex. Another of the guests at the table was his current wife, my friend's doppelganger! They always talk about men having "a type". Well, I guess so, at least in this case.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
