Skin of dreams - Evelyn Conlon

A controversial novel about one woman's encounter with murder, justice and exution, Skin of Dreams expertly and disturbingly explores the experience and effects of capital punishment. It is also the tale of two twins, and the loss of balance they feel when their relationship is disrupted by an all-consuming search for the truth. Corlon subtly evokes the multiple worlds that compose their universe, from a drowning villiage in Ireland to a sojourn in Tennessee, from drinking nights in Dublin to Death Row, from an unresolved past to the fearful resolution of judicial murder.
