Got this for bookcrossing, the only copy registered! A little old book, this edition published in 1964 I think.

Back of cover:
It started as an innocent game one summer's night - a seventeen-year-old boy and his sister chasing each other from room to room of an old deserted house, clutching breathlessely at each other, giggling, stuffing their mouths with wild berries.
It ended suddenly in an experience that would scar them for the rest of their lives.
This is a novel of strange, incestuous passion - the novel that will challenge all your beliefs about the nature of love.

A strange book, but the writing is good. Ana and her younger brother (Nan, or Juan) are so strongly connected, they should have been born as one person (as Nan puts it). Set in Latin America - maybe Argentina? (they only mention going to the Capital and travelling around and going to the 'finca'). They are from a wealthy family and their people are 'great experts of indolence'.
Both are shocked by what happened that one night and while Nan runs away from his family to the Capital, Ana goes to London to study. Distance and non-communication doesn't help though and still they are obsessed with each other. As time passes Ana somehow ends up in relationship (not very willingly) with an Englishman, a sociologist.
When she receives news that her mother is gravely ill and won't live much longer, Ana returns to Argentina(?) to try find her brother and say goodbye to her mother.
The ending is very sad and tragic (won't put a spoiler here though - you will need to read it to find out :p).


(Silly side note: Noticed that in the 3 completely different books that I was reading at the same time (this one, Strange Weather in Tokyo and A Plague of Angels), there is a part describing how a girl/woman rests her head on the boy/man's arm, using it as a pillow as they are lying down - very strange coincidence! Felt like a sort of déjà-vu :P)

Off to Tribefan (with 2 other books) for the mass release of 'odd' books.
