Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe
I beloved this literary speculative story about two sisters who started their lives collectively as snakes in Tang Dynasty China. Now, they couldn’t be extra completely different: Su is a conservative politician’s spouse in Singapore whereas Emerald scrapes by as a queer sugar child dwelling in New York Metropolis with an artist good friend. It’s an exquisite and bruising story about racism, assimilation, and the complexities of discovered household. I don’t know how you can speak about this one succinctly, however you will get my full ideas on All of the Books.
