Some people's fates are similar in very strange ways. The book "The Queen's Twin and Other Stories" is about different people whose lives crossed unexpectedly and were filled with similar events. The protagonist of "The Queen's Twin" is an old woman from Maine who was born at the same time as Queen Victoria. She later married a man called Albert and had children with the same success as the Queen. She visited London and met the Queen there, and those memories warmed her heart in old age.

Excerpt from Chapter 1: "One September day, when I was nearly at the end of a summer spent in a village called Dunnet Landing, on the Maine coast, my friend Mrs. Todd, in whose house I lived, came home from a long, solitary stroll in the wild pastures, with an eager look as if she were just starting on a hopeful quest instead of returning. She brought a little basket with blackberries enough for supper, and held it towards me so that I could see that there were also some late and surprising raspberries sprinkled on top, but she made no comment upon her wayfaring. I could tell plainly that she had something very important to say."
