Summary

An Image in a Mirror is a tender and intricately woven tale about twin sisters separated at birth, one raised in Uganda, the other in South Africa, unaware of each other's existence. As their lives unfold in parallel, marked by striking differences and uncanny similarities, fate slowly draws them together. The novel delves into themes of motherhood, migration, and the push-pull of heritage and self-discovery. With vivid prose and a compelling dual narrative, Ogwang explores the complexity of identity and the invisible threads that bind us, even across continents.
