Overview: Born in rural Uganda, Nyakale and Achen are identical twins. Then their mother decides to give one away to her sister in South Africa for a shot at a better life, and to assuage the guilt of her sibling’s childlessness.
At the heart of this beautifully woven novel is the coming-of-age of two girls growing up in separate worlds that are as different as they are similar. Torn apart by distance and their mother’s drastic choice, Nyakale and Achen despise one another for what each imagines the other to have.
When the sisters, at the age of twenty-two, finally cross their respective worlds to meet, how mirrored will each feel about the other?
Interweaving two contrasting paths to adulthood, as Nyakale and Achen navigate the politics of their respective spheres, An Image in a Mirror is a deeply intimate African story about the coming of age of two young women, who are the same as much as they are different.
