Una historia conmovedora sobre dos hermanas muy distintas y una carta de amor a la infancia, a lo que significa hacerse mayor y al poder de la imaginación, de la autora best seller de Vamos a morir todos.
Sigrid no soporta trabajar en el Dollar Pal, pero siempre se ha mostrado reacia a la idea de hacerse mayor y caer en las trampas de la adultez. No terminó el instituto y prefirió recorrer las calles de su pueblo con su mejor amiga, Greta, la única persona del mundo que la comprendía de verdad. Su hermana mayor, Margit, se siente desconcertada y frustrada ante la incapacidad de Sigrid para ajustarse a las expectativas de la sociedad.
Pero la indiferencia de Sigrid esconde una agitación y una sensibilidad más profundas. Vive atormentada por el dolor del pasado, desde los días en que imaginaba que sus padres eran monstruos del pantano que hacían temblar el suelo con sus discusiones, hasta el hecho de haber perdido a su mejor amiga de la infancia por culpa de la epidemia de opiáceos que asola su pueblo. Cuando Margit se propone entender a Sigrid y los secretos que oculta, ambas hermanas, cada una a su tiempo y a su manera, descubren que reavivar la imaginación compartida de su infancia es el único modo de seguir adelante.
Esta es la historia inolvidable de dos hermanas que encuentran el camino de regreso la una a la otra y una celebración de un vínculo trascendental e irrompible.
«La última novela de Emily Austin es una clase magistral sobre la voz, los narradores poco fiables y sobre unos personajes inescrutables a los que, sin embargo, llegas a conocer por el detalle de la narración y por lo fácil que resulta identificarse con el pueblecito en el que viven, la familia extraña que tienen y los problemas a los que se enfrentan. Hermana, hermana es el retrato de la complicada relación entre dos hermanas que se puede leer de una sentada. Una relación rara pero familiar; conmovedora pero difícil; y, sobre todo, la luz en la oscuridad que ambas necesitan con desesperación, igual que nosotros». -LAURIE FRANKEL, autora best seller del New York Times de This Is How It Always Is
«Hermana, hermana es un libro para la gente de pueblo, las raras, las lesbianas y las que dejaron el instituto, para quienes creemos que el mundo sería un lugar mejor si desapareciéramos, para quienes cambiaríamos nuestro trabajo en el Dollar Pal y el odio que sentimos hacia nosotras mismas por vivir la buena vida de un roedor en una feria. El humor negro, tan habitual en Emily Austin, y las observaciones sagaces sobre la condición humana fascinan y entretienen, a medida que una serie de notas de suicidio desvelan las verdades que se esconden tras la adicción, las amargas discusiones familiares y las amenazas de bomba anónimas contra cierto político conservador de un pueblo de Canadá. Aquí no hay caricaturas, solo estamos tú, yo y todos los que conocemos. Es la Alice Munro para las lesbianas deprimidas. Me hizo llorar y luego me dio un abrazo». -MARISSA HIGGINS, autora de A Good Happy Girl
