Download Sisters by Daisy Johnson PDF

"Daisy Johnson writes in a torrent of language as unrelenting and turbulent and dark as the river at the book's heart; dive in for just a moment and you'll emerge gasping and haunted." --Celeste Ng, The New York Times-bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "A novel about family facing their darkest impulses while quarantined together? Highly relatable." --Vulture "Daisy Johnson is the youngest writer ever to have be short-listed for the Booker prize, and with good reason. . . . Exploring the fraught dynamics of blood and betrayal, Sisters is yet another Johnson masterpiece." --Elle, "Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2020" "Johnson's exploration of sibling love and rivalry is powerful and tinged with a hint of menace, and you'll feel a slight pit in your stomach as July and September's fraught relationship slowly and horrifyingly continues to fracture in this new kind of love story." --E! Online "Daisy Johnson weaves an uncanny, Gothic tale of two dangerously intertwined siblings. . . . It's deeply unnerving and unnervingly prescient." --Vogue"Johnson is a master of creating vivid imagery in her prose, and this book is no exception. The sense of unease melds with the beautiful language in a way that will take your breath away." --Shondaland "Spooky, sensuous, sensational . . . the language . . . is distinctive without getting in the way of the page-turning desire to find out what the hell's going on and which inevitable tragedy will hit first." --The Times (London) "[Johnson] has two gifts not often bestowed on the same writer: she can pace a narrative as scarily and surprisingly as any airport thriller-writer; she can also write like an angel, evoking sights and smells, changes in the weather, the landscape inside your head. . . . I guarantee that once you start this novella, the world will be dead to you until it is finished. And when it is finished, the world will have changed." --The Tablet (UK) "Just when you wonder where this hallucinatory novel is going, Johnson beautifully wrong-foots you with a shivery denouement that makes the ghosts in her story all too real." --Daily Mail (London) "Exhilarating . . . The unspeakable thing that happens is, of course, revealed in the closing chapters, and Johnson's powerful storytelling means the moment creeps up on you, catching you unaware even after hours of wide-eyed reading. A masterful follow-up to her debut, Johnson's novel is quietly terrifying and certainly an apt read for 2020." --Evening Standard.
