When We Were Sisters by Fatimah Asghar
dark
emotional
reflective

4.0
Stunning prose and gripping characters. I read this via audiobook and really enjoyed the performance, it gave heft and voice to what often felt like poetry, though I imagine a physical read would have been excellent as well. Honestly this could have kept going, the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted to be (though I understand why it ended the way it did). Witnessing how the sisters developed (both individually and together) was well done and felt so realistic. Glad I finally picked this one up, a short gem!
Graphic: Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment
