Shortly after learning they would become the parents of twins, the physician-writer Amit Majmudar and his wife received a devastating in utero diagnosis: one of the twins had a potentially fatal congenital heart defect.
Drawing strength and beauty from catastrophe, Majmudar\'s Twin A creates a moving portrait of a family\'s love and a child\'s extraordinary resilience..
The result is a fresh, captivating exploration of the events that transform his son and everyone around him.
Thanks to Majmudar\'s ample gifts as a wordsmith, medical and scientific information frequently give way to original poetry and fables, family history, and a series of evocative religious and philosophical reflections about matters of life and death.
But the narrative turns into something much richer and more expansive than the mere description of a surgical history.
Written in the form of an extended letter, Twin A recounts the epic story of the open-heart surgeries, complications, and prolonged recoveries that Majmudar\'s son survived in infancy and early childhood.
