About the Book

HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR TRIBE WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW YOURSELF? WHAT DO YOU CLING TO WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHO OR HOW TO TRUST?
Maya is an urban millennial with a very full life. So it comes as a shock to her friends when she goes offline and ghosts them all of a sudden. As their enquiry into her absence gets increasingly frantic, Maya herself oscillates between fear and honesty, therapy and godmen, superstition and nostalgia. Crushed by generational trauma and long-hidden secrets, she chases faith and love in the most hopeless places, knowing that the only way out is through.
The Other Sister weaves a complex web, with a fair share of drama featuring an absent mother, a rotating cast of friends and lovers, an attentive but distant brother, and Akira, who defies description. It is a haunting exploration of young lives in disarray; a social media generation that’s hyper-connected yet somehow still isolated and misunderstood.
