The dr said if she falls pregnant again it will kill her and the monkey tells him if he has male urges to take them out on her to save his wife. He said he’s not fucking a monkey.

Dominic wonders how if their mother is not his grandfathers child, he and Thomas look so much like Dominic? I think they’re his, he raped his ‘daughter’ and the boys are his children

To the handsome son of a witch that she was working for. After the witch died they killed Violet as husband to free her from him. However they were worked out and had to run. They ended up in America with false identities. He asks where violetta is and she said she died in Italy never coming to America but he reminds her she slipped up and said ‘we’ came to America.
Thinking his wife is violetta.

Virgin. Soon she is pregnant he is excited she’s pregnant. She gives birth to twins after a difficult labor. The boy is dead and looks like him, the girl alive with a harelip and red hair. He realises she was probably pregnant when they married.
That night the ugly one he calls the monkey gets drunk and tells him her life story from Italy. How she had a friend violetra who was beautiful. Violetra ended up married

The leftover bride that would’ve been his brothers is gorgeous so he wants her but she refuses to marry him saying she’s in love with an Irish guy. Originally he was hoping to get a good dowry from her cousins for her but he wants her so bad HE ends up paying them to marry her, they make her take the ugly one too as a maid. When he and his wife have sex for the first time she doesn’t bleed but insists she a

Dominic’s grandads story is crazy!
Came to America from Italy with his 2 brothers, he worked hard and saved to buy land to build a house. One brother died, the other helped him build the house and then died falling from the roof. He wanted an Italian wife and had arranged for him and his brother to marry these guys cousins from Italy. When he meets ‘his’ bride she is ugly and older than promised. He refuses.

Thomas is now in the hatch for a year before it can be reviewed again. Meanwhile the war he cut off his hand to prevent has gone ahead and he suddenly doesn’t care anymore? On to the next thing perhaps. Meanwhile feeling like he let Thomas down and like his life is spiraling Dominic considered suicide himself: instead he flushed the pills and is seeing Thomas’s therapist/ she wants to understand them both

Like a book in a book I’m now following the translated version of Dominic’s grandfather, he’s not a likeable man yet thinks very highly of himself, it’s a good job Dominic never managed to have it translated for his mother while she was alive cause he’s horrible about her in it. Dominic fell off a roof he was painting when the homeowner shot himself. He missed Thomas’s hearing due to it

Okay now I’m in to this and having to go work is inconvenient cause I want to read. I think now I’m taking it for what it is not expecting it to be like river is waiting I’m enjoying it a lot more. I’m glad I didn’t DNF this.

Still at it! I can’t really explain the plot as it doesn’t really have a ‘storyline’ it’s more and jumble of memories surrounding Dominic’s experience of life and being a twin.

This might end up DNF I don’t even really get the plot to narrate it. The desire to read it is just not there. Dominic and Thomas are twin brothers, they don’t know their dad, their mom died of cancer and Thomas got v in to religious conspiracy’s and cut off his hand in a library. Currently following Dominic describing his relationship with his mother as she died.
