This case has always intrigued me. Journalist, Marjorie Wallace, skillfully captures their inner world of childhood madness.
I'm wondering if American doctors and psychologists would have done a better job at treating the sisters or at least documenting the pathology of their mental state. I think their condition, in part, was a reaction to their alien environment and the extreme bullying they endured day in and day out.
It's also puzzling how Jennifer, after volunteering to sacrifice herself, suddenly dies on the eve she and her sister, June, were scheduled to be transferred to a new psychiatric facility. Was the stress of leaving the present facility - their home - too much, was her sudden death just coincidence, or did each twin posses the power to cease being at will?
Anyone else creeped out by their story?
