El Día Que Mi Hermana Quiso Volar / The Day My Sister Wanted to Fly

""When one twin dies, is the other still a twin or should they be called something else?" That's Elio's first thought after Eva, his twin sister, inseparable companion and best friend, is killed in a fall from a roof. Without Eva - smart, inquisitive, demanding, passionate defender of justice - who is Elio? Who is Mónica, their mother, a million miles distant from her teenage daughter? And what role does Mateo play, the psychiatrist whose job it is to help Elio manage the pain of losing his sister, when it still isn't clear if her fall was an accident, or she was pushed? Elio may not know the right term for a person who has lost their twin, but he does know that Eva is gone. She flew away, like she always wanted. Now he must decide how to understand what happened to his sister, as well as how to move forward with his own life."--
