Blutsschwestern

When will you strike back? Blood is thicker than water. A feminist road movie between Vienna and the Balkans. Badly battered, Ljiljana has to go into hiding. Her successful sister Sanja persuades her to disappear to her old homeland of Serbia. But instead of finding refuge and help, the two become embroiled in a feud between a mafia godmother and her adversaries. The hellish violence threatens to drag the sisters into the deepest moral abyss - only their connection to each other can save them. Ana Wetherall-Grujic's powerful debut novel shatters the cliché of the submissive, peaceful woman. Without frills and with bitter humour, she tells of sisterhood, home and cold-blooded revenge.
