A Scotiabank Giller Prize Finalist Raised in Montreal by their disinterested single mother, half-sisters Lark and Robin form a fierce team in spite of their differences. When Lark flees to America to attend college, her sister soon joins her. But even as Lark discovers a calling working in documentary film, she struggles with self-doubt, and Robin chafes against the demands of studying piano at Juilliard. Their bond strains under increasing pressure until it breaks. Years later, Lark's life is in tatters and Robin's is wilder than ever. As Lark tries to take charge of her destiny, she discovers that despite the difficulties of their relationship, there is only one person she can truly rely on: her sister. A gripping, unforgettable novel about art, ambition, sisterhood, motherhood, and self-knowledge, Dual Citizens captures the unique language of sisters and makes visible the imperceptible strings that bind us to the ones we love for good.
Alix Ohlin Volgorde van de boeken
Alix Ohlin creëert proza dat duikt in de complexiteit van menselijke relaties en de zoektocht naar identiteit. Haar stijl is scherpzinnig en geestig, vaak gericht op personages op de rand, aan de marge van de samenleving. Ohlin vangt meesterlijk de subtiele lijnen tussen normaliteit en anders-zijn, en onderzoekt hoe individuen omgaan met onzekerheid en verlies. Haar korte verhalen en romans worden geprezen om hun psychologische diepgang en scherpe observatievermogen.
