In My Two Selves and I, Kudakwashe Muzira shows us what is like to live in a culture where the religious beliefs and the king make the laws. Twins and triplets are not allowed to survive, only the first born.With the help of her daughter and then her husband Danai keeps the forbidden secret of having triplets and hides them throughout their lives.Eventually the truth comes out and they are all in danger of being executed by the king until a surprising twist and the king now has to make an even harder decision of his own.I like this book of a different culture and religious beliefs, but in the end I always find it alarming how quickly laws can change to suit the people who rule any culture.An interesting read, I found this book different and refreshing.
