‘At once an ecological dystopia and a domestic drama, My Sister is an impressive psychological thriller…The reader is left in awe. This is an encounter with a major writer.’ * La Croix * ‘There is a striking purity to Salasc’s writing; brilliance is a matter of course and accompanies a lively sensibility…The beauty of this novel derives from the promise of renewal. My Sister is an edgy dystopia, blazing with hope.’ * Télérama * ‘She might have changed her name (from Pagano to Salasc), but we recognise her work immediately: her meticulous curiosity about what connects human beings to nature…By aligning the dissection of toxic family relationships with a disturbing geo-political fable, My Sister offers fascinating food for thought.’ * Livres Hebdo * ‘For Emmanuelle Salsac, writing is a form of resistance, a way of preventing the worst…A parallel develops between the possible flood from a glacier and the impulsiveness of the narrator’s twin sister, both of which must be prevented and contained. Of course, things are not that simple…’ * Diacritik *
