Paula Bernstein and Elyse Schein lived very similar lives. They were both born in New York, edited their high school newspapers and studied film at university. And both were adopted in 1968.

It was only at the age of 35 that they discovered each other and just how similar they were: identical twins who had been separated as infants in a bizarre social experiment.

The sisters, who both now live in Brooklyn are both writers.

The sisters believe that in the great conundrum that justified their separation, nature is more important than nurture.

"Twins really do force us to question what is it that makes each of us who we are. Since meeting Elyse, it is undeniable that genetics play a huge role — probably more than 50 per cent," said Paula.

"It's not just our taste in music or books; it goes beyond that. In her, I see the same basic personality."
