Plot Summary of Under Gemini
"Trying to put her life back in order, Rose is startled, while dining one evening in London, to see her face looking back at her. Realizing that she has a long lost twin, Flora, Rose must at first adjust to the idea of a twin and the circumstances concerning their separation. Then when Flora suggests that Rose spend a few days in her apartment and Flora must leave for Greece, Rose comes face to face with a man who actually believes she is Flora. But Flora expects her to accompany him to see his sick grandmother in Scotland. His grandmother who met Flora five years ago wishes to see the more grown up Flora now in case she dies. Having nowhere to live and no job at the moment, Flora decides to go with the young man but has second thoughts when she meets his grandmother and other family members.

A great story, as Pilcher's always are. "
