- Summary:
- "We don't exist in this world. Here we're neither Germans nor refugees; we aren't newsreaders or experts. We're some kind of joker in the pack, and they don't know if they can use us for anything." Kasih, Hani, and Saya have shared a deep friendship since school and the years they lived in the same public housing estate. Kasih and Hani still live in the same city, but now Saya is returning and they have a lot to catch up on. Yet amid the laughter and determination of their sisterhood, it's clear to the three young women that they haven't escaped the racism that has accompanied their daily lives since childhood: the glances, the chatter, and the outright right-wing terror. Sisters in Arms is a lyrical, explosive novel about the importance of friendship -- the kind of extraordinary friendship that brings stability to an unstable world. Until one dramatic night that will change everything for the three women, propelling Kasih to tell the tale of themselves.
