It's like a miniature painting, meticulous in detail, if small in scope. One Out of Two starts out in a light-hearted way and so the ending was a little more heartbreaking than I expected it to be. The sisters Constitución and Gloria make choices, together and individually, that force them to give up one kind of love for the sake of another. It's a lovely story.

This novella tells the intriguing story of the identical Gamal sisters, who navigate significant life changes and choices in their early forties. It is a love story at it's heart, written in a unique and lyrical style that requires close reading. I enjoyed the glimpse into small Mexican town life. Sada is an interesting writer and his complex style makes the feat of translation all the more impressive.
