Twin sisters find their bond tested by radically different experiences with weight and body shaming.Third Place Books welcomes Donna Miscolta to our Ravenna store to celebrate her new novel, Ofelia and Norma: the story of how anti-fat bias drives a wedge between two formerly inseparable sisters—and of how they begin to rebuild their connection by seeking justice in an unjust world.
