EXCERPT: Next to my phone is a photo of them both. My parents: Paul and Elizabeth Raven. Good people. Caring and straightforward and down-to-earth. Honest, mostly. Mum is, at least. Next to that is a photo of me, Molly Raven, and my monozygotic twin, Katie, or as I call her, KT. I don't use the term 'identical twin' because it's a blatant lie. A travesty. Our base DNA is identical, sure, but that's about all that is.

Maudie is a 2016 biographical drama film directed by Aisling Walsh and starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. A co-production of Ireland and Canada, it is about the life of folk artist Maud Lewis, who painted in Nova Scotia. In the story, Maud (Hawkins) struggles with rheumatoid arthritis, the memory of a lost child, and a family that doubts her abilities, before moving in with a surly fish peddler (Hawke) as a housekeeper. Despite their differing personalities, they marry as her art gains in popularity. The film was shot in Newfoundland and Labrador, requiring a re-creation of Lewis's famously small house. Katie (KT) and Molly are identical twins, though like most twins, most of their similarities stop where their reflections end. Molly lives a peaceful and methodical life in London, while wild child, free-spirited, pretty and popular Katie travels and is full to bursting with crazy stories and unpredictable adventures. Despite their differences, the two have stayed as inseparable (as many identical twins do) even after Katie moves all the way to New York City. TV Listings 07-10-1975". Daily Mirror. London.

Dean also has a habit of sort of restating the same sentence or the same information twice in a paragraph. Here's a prime example: The Findlays' next-door neighbors are Dr. Arthur Harmon ( Conrad Bain), a stuffy, sardonic Republican, and his sweet but scatterbrained second wife Vivian ( Rue McClanahan). McClanahan confirmed in an interview with the Archive of American Television that she was approached by Norman Lear during the taping of the All in the Family episode "The Bunkers and the Swingers" (1972) to take on the role as a late replacement for Doris Roberts, the original choice for the part. [3] Arthur has been Walter's best friend since the two served together in World War II; he was the one who brought Walter and Maude together in 1968 and "affectionately" calls Maude "Maudie." Vivian and Maude have been best friends since college. At the beginning of the series, Arthur is a widower. Vivian is introduced in a guest appearance that focused on her split with her first husband. She later got involved with Arthur as a divorcée.

Molly and Katie are identical twins in appearance but could not be more different in personality. Katie is the vivacious one, looking to take risks, always wanting to be the life of the party. Molly is the neurotic one, always plays it safe, and feels most at ease in the comfort of her flat.

Mélanie, une adolescente en quête d’absolu, sillonne le désert de l’Arizona pour exorciser la peur et la réalité, espérant échapper au quotidien lent du motel que dirige sa mère, près de Tucson. Sa rencontre avec l’excessive Angela Parkins multipliera les actes de révolte et de pure joie. Dans les intervalles de la narration, se dresse la présence menaçante de « l’homme long » comme l’histoire du monde et de la science. Tel est le récit que découvre la traductrice Maude Laure, récit qui l’envoûte et qu’elle décide de traduire après s’être imprégnée des personnages, avoir imaginé leurs dialogues et refait les paysages de l’inquiétante beauté du désert. Hmmm…the first half of this book is really difficult to read. The language and dialogue is so stilted, repetitive, and exhausting. I did not like the inside of Molly’s head, as her inner-monologue was maddening. I actually had a difficult time believing this book was written by the same author!
