A Saint from Texas - Edmund White

Yvette and Yvonne Crawford are twin sisters, born on a humble patch of East Texas prairie but bound for grander fates. Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddy's land, both girls harbour their own secret dreams - ones that will carry them far from Texas and each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne ascends the highest ranks of Parisian society while Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship on the streets of Jericó, Colombia. And yet, as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family are unbreakable.
