''Her Fearful Symmetry'' is the fifth novel〔( Audrey Niffenegger Receives $5 Million Advance for Second Novel )〕 by author Audrey Niffenegger. The book was published on 1 October 2009 and is set in London's Highgate Cemetery where, during research for the book, Niffenegger acted as a tour guide. ==The title== The novel's title is inspired by "The Tyger",〔(Official Website (see video) )〕 a poem by the English poet William Blake, which begins "''Tyger! Tyger! burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?''". Considering the setting of the novel, some critics have also pointed out a potential verbal pun in the novel's title, since in received pronunciation "symmetry" and "cemetery" are almost homophonous.〔(Book Review - 'Her Fearful Symmetry', By Audrey Niffenegger - Review - NYTimes.com (Reviewed by Susan Cokal) )〕 There is also a physical symmetry in two of the main characters - identical twins with mirrored internal organs.
