Sinopsis
As gripping as Room, as powerful as Elizabeth is Missing, Beside Myself is the story of twin sisters, a childhood game with devastating consequences and the slippery nature of identityHelen and Ellie are identical twins - like two peas in a pod, everyone says. The girls know this isn't true, though: Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day., But Ellie refuses to swap back... And so begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen., And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day but also herself - until eventually only `Smudge' is left. Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister's dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist?Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant psychological drama about family and identity - what makes us who we are and how very fragile it can be.

Críticas
Morgan's book is an unsettling performance ... It reads like a particularly ingenious misery memoir ... Impressive (Sunday Times)
An unsettling, compelling debut about identity and not-so-happy families (Glamour)
This is not just a blisteringly clever novel about identity; it also focuses on the grim hold mental illness can take on sufferers and the challenges they face in an uncaring society (Independent)
A compulsive, dark and strikingly well-written novel that grips from the first page until long after the last (Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall)
This disturbing novel describes the damage done when selfhood is compromised, exploring genetics, addiction, depression and the effects of family history. An uneasy read ... But it is compelling (Mail on Sunday, "Best of New Fiction")
Ann Morgan's Beside Myself is a gripping, savage tale about a lost generation, shipwrecked in a brainless celebrity culture or choosing rebellion, drugs and rage. Full of twists and surprises, this thrilling novel will leave you both shaken and stirred (Patricia Duncker, author of Sophie and Sybil)
Elegantly written and there are a couple of nice twists embedded in the narrative . Morgan's knack is to have us care for both sisters despite their occasionally monstrous behaviour. She makes no excuses for them and sugars no pills - these are three-dimensional characters making the best of a largely awful upbringing **** (Paul Connolly Metro)
A dark tale of addiction and mental illness. This sinister thriller is set for big things (Stylist)
Creepy, clever and compulsive, it will stay with you for a long time (Heat)
A dark, taut and utterly compelling read (Sun)

Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day.
But Ellie refuses to swap back...

Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister's dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist?
