Description
A darkly funny and razor-sharp novel about two sisters bound by an ancient secret. Su, a picture-perfect wife in Singapore, and Emerald, a nihilistic sugar baby in New York, share a mysterious past as snakes in Tang dynasty China. When Emerald is involved in a violent encounter, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. As they reconnect, Su tries to keep an eye on Emerald, but her irrepressible behavior threatens to out them both in their affluent city. This novel explores chosen family, queerness, passing, and the struggle against conformity through a reimagining of the Chinese folktale "The Legend of the White Snake." It's a story about being seen for who you are and how to live free. With its bold and humorous tone, Sister Snake is a raw exploration of identity and community. With its unique blend of humor and emotion, this novel will appeal to readers looking for a thought-provoking and engaging read.
