The Strange Likeness

"The Strange Likeness" by Harriet Pyne Grove is a story of two young women facing an extraordinary coincidence. Shirley Harcourt arrives at a girls' school ready to start a new chapter, but her plans get complicated when she discovers Sidney Thorne, a girl who looks exactly like her; the narrative follows Shirley as she gets to know a different environment and tries to understand why there is another version of herself. As Shirley and Sidney grapple with the implications of their shared face, the book looks deeply into what makes each person unique, showing how they handle mistaken identities and discover who they are, even when they have a look-alike.
