"Arnetová also said that Anna was thinking her sister was alive somewhere and that her sister was named 'Anna'"

....what

Is this a mistype or something? Otherwise...there's a real obsession with the name Anna, and the idea of being the other twin. Nina was named Anna (by who?) for a while, Bonaparta called the mother Anna, and now the twin's mother thinks her sister than did not survive to be born is alive...and named Anna? It sounds like either the twins mother was a tad...strange (Johan might've inhereted it from somewhere?), or there's something darker still to this story.

Heck, is that part of why the mother dressed both the children as girls? Both to make people think she only had one child (a daughter), but also some weird hang up about losing a twin sister and wanting to do things for two people, a twin?? Is that why Johan fears he or his sister was the unwanted twin, because his mother being compared to her sister might have made her feel unwanted? My mind's going everywhere with this....

Or the translation is really, really broken and confusing. Cause wow, is that a massively unnerving, weird idea.

"Anna tried to do her sister's share of everything, and do things for two people, hers and her sister's"

Wow, that 'I am you, you are me' hang up that Johan has seems to really have been brought over from this mother's desire to be like her twin because of her mother's comparing the two??

Really would love for the text of this to be available; I don't know if the person who you have to e-mail for the last few chapters responds to e-mail anymore?
