Signed First Edition - Sisters: SISTERS / FOYLES SIGNED FIRST

July and September are sisters. July, the quiet one; September, the dominant one. July who likes it that way; September who wouldn’t let it be another way. September who tells July what to do, what to wear, what to say, what to think. September who makes July do things.

September says do a roly-poly. September says cross your eyes. Turn around on the spot, you lose a life. Cut off all your hair. Run into the road. September says put all your clothes in the bin and stand in front of the window. Put this needle through your finger.

They’re a year apart, but September made them have one birthday. They’re in their teens, but they act like little girls. Sheela, their mother, drags them off to the Settle House—to protect them, but she can’t look at them; not after what happened that night—that night after school on the tennis courts. The night the storm raged, and the ambulance lights flashed.

September says cut yourself here. She points to the bottom of her neck. September says do it now or lose the whole game. September says hurry up.

Introducing Sisters, the brand new novel from Daisy Johnson, author of Fen and the Man Booker-shortlisted Everything Under. A powerful, psychological, broodingly atmospheric novel of sibling love and power, of love and fear and the blurring of the two, Sisters is literary fiction with a streak of classic horror through its core; one in which the terror comes from trauma and tumult, and our selves are the real monsters. It’s a story of two inseparable sisters—of obsession and possession. As characters unravel, as perspectives layer over perspectives, the true nature of the sisters’ relationship is uncovered—and, with it, what happened that night at the tennis courts.

Haunting, haunted, sensory and succinct: Sisters is the second novel from an author whose books already come with a big ‘must-read’ stamp. Get your hands on a signed first edition, available while stock lasts!
