The story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, commonly referred to as the Silent Twins, is one of the most astonishing examples of sisterhood and communication in modern history. These two identical twins spent their entire life in Wales almost together and speaking a language that no one else could understand, they could communicate with the outside world through writing. Their odd relationship caught the attention of the media almost immediately, and their peculiar story would eventually become a subject of intrigue for people all over the world.
"The Silent Twins" recounts the tragic events that occurred in the lives of June and Jennifer Gibbons. The girls and their parents, who were from the Caribbean, were the only black residents of their Wales neighborhood. As a result of being the focus of bullying at school and being ostracized by their peers from a young age, they withdrew into their own world and ceased communicating with others. As a means of coping with their situation, they constructed an intricate fantasy life for themselves. Officials at the British school, troubled by the girls' behavior, determined that the girls suffered from mental illness and attempted to separate them. As youths, their obstinate behavior put them in a severe mental facility for therapy.
This book takes a look at their exceptional lives, taking into account the sisters' odd relationship, the effects of their silence, and the enduring effects they had on their surroundings.
