Die Schwestern

For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Lauren Groff and Guillermo del Toro, a literary gothic novel for the 21st century The sisters Juli and September are inseparable: they share a birthday, a mobile, a bed. But when Juli becomes interested in a boy from school, the sisters' own little world is shaken. What happened back then on the school tennis court in the pouring rain? What did Juli and September do to make their mum stop talking to them? Juli only knows that this is why they are here, in the lonely, dilapidated cottage on the English coast. As the house increasingly disintegrates under the weight of anger and grief, Juli suddenly remembers a terrible promise... Daisy Johnson creates a claustrophobic domestic setting, rich in allusions and psychologically masterful, and shows how quickly love can turn into cruelty.
