Chapter 6. In-Utero Bonding

A Q&A with Rich Shapero

Q: As with Balcony of Fog, Dreams of Delphine features video commentaries on the subject matter of the novel. 

RS: The phenomenon of the lone twin is not well known. I thought it would be illuminating for readers to learn about twin loss from people who have either lived through it or thought a lot about it. For me, the personal testimonials are moving. They had a lot to do with shaping the story, as did thoughts about the impact of twinhood on fetal subconscious. We get to hear from Apostolis, as well. He told me the story of his community while I was in Holland, and I wanted to share it.
