Über diesen Titel
A New York Times Summer Book We're Looking Forward To
One of Vulture's Books We Can't Wait to Read This Summer
"One of this summer’s most buzzed-about novels."—Nilanjana Roy, Financial Times
"A classic story about sibling rivalry . . . One of the best novels I've ever read about the complexities of mixed heritage."—Fredrik Backman, The New Yorker
"[The Sisters] generates every kind of heat . . . If you welcome this novel into your mind, it will warm and transform you."—Tess Gunty, National Book Award-winning author of The Rabbit Hutch
"Astonishing . . . Every character—every sentence—is startlingly, indubitably alive.”—Katie Kitamura, author of Audition and Intimacies
An addictively entertaining family saga by a National Book Award finalist.
Meet the Mikkola sisters: Ina, Evelyn, and Anastasia. Their mother is a Tunisian carpet seller, their father a mysterious Swede who left them when they were young. Ina is tall, serious, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy, magnetic, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody, chaotic, a shape-shifting presence, quick to anger.
Ina meets her future husband when she’s dragged to a New Year’s rave by her sisters, only to suffer the ultimate betrayal. Evelyn drifts through life before embarking on a wild career as an actress. And Anastasia runs off to Tunisia, where she falls in love with a woman who, years later, will transform her life.
Following the sisters from afar is Jonas, the son of a Swedish mother and a Tunisian father. Over the course of three decades, his life intersects with the sisters, from a chance encounter in Tunis to the scene of a fighter jet crash in Stockholm. When Evelyn disappears on a trip to New York, Jonas manages to track her down—and helps her to break the curse that has been looming over the Mikkolas for decades. In the process, a shocking revelation changes everything about who they think they are.
Narrated in six parts, each spanning a period ranging from a year to a day to a single minute, Jonas Hassen Khemiri's The Sisters is a big, vivid family saga of the highest order—an addictively entertaining tour de force.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

"[A] gripping, ambitious novel of love and lineage."—Isle McElroy, Vulture
"Wondrous . . . Blending humor and pathos, Khemiri perfectly encapsulates the push and pull of living in two different and sometimes dueling cultures. It’s a staggering achievement."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
