Christina Baker Kline
The St. Louis County Library Foundation and The Novel Neighbor Present Bestselling Historical Novelist Christina Baker Kline
Author of “The Foursome”
#1 bestselling author of “Orphan Train,” Christina Baker Kline shares a boldly original reimagining of the astonishing true story of two sisters in nineteenth-century North Carolina–Kline’s own distant relatives–who married world-famous conjoined twins, Eng and Chang Bunker. Spanning five decades and unfolding against the backdrop of a nation hurtling toward war, “The Foursome” is both intimate and epic: a story of love and constraint, identity and reinvention. Kline brings to life a forgotten chapter of American history and the complex, boundary-defying marriages at its center.
