For eighty years they live on the farm--sharing the same clothes, tilling the same soil, sleeping in the same bed. Their lives and the lives of their neighbors--farmers, drovers, clergymen, traders, coffin-makers--are only obliquely touched by the chaos of twentieth-century progress. Nevertheless, the twins' world--a few square miles of countryside--is rich in the oddities, the wonders, and the tragedies of the human experience. In this extraordinary novel, Bruce Chatwin has captured every nuance of the Welsh landscape and of the lives and souls of the people who live there.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce Chatwin (1940-1989) was the author of \u003cb\u003eIn Patagonia\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Viceroy of Ouidah\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eOn the Black Hill\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Songlines\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eUtz\u003c\/b\u003e.
