Set in our own time, across Sweden, Tunisia and the U.S., its plot &#8211; if there is one, really &#8211; is also driven by superstitious beliefs in the supernatural. The sisters themselves believe that their family was cursed, and this guides their lives and decision making. The novel ropes us into deeply detailed worlds, both of behaviors and emotional interiors; it also makes it very clear that self-fulfilling prophecies interact with structural characteristics of misogynistic, patriarchal societies, exponentially affecting outcomes for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=890%2C592&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=1536%2C1021&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=280%2C185&amp;ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=560%2C372&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?resize=80%2C53&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0187.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The book was not expressly plot-driven. I was more reminded of Susan Sontag&#8217;s adage that novels are <em>education of feelings<\/em> &#8211; they help us to escape the ever narrowing versions of ourselves, tied to habits in thinking and interactions. It certainly reminded me of how sibling relationships are fundamental to our existence, but their mechanisms are much more easily discerned when you observe other sibling relationships from the outside. In this case, the author managed to make<em> <strong>each one<\/strong> <\/em>of them increasingly more sympathetic, despite some being closer to me, the reader, in personality than the others. He also showed the futile or destructive power of competition, when they could have helped each other all along. But the novel&#8217;s real success lies in the ability to convey how potentially neutral or positive life outcomes can be thrown into disarray by the persistence of false beliefs, no matter how rational you try to be. Let that sink in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=681%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=681%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 681w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=768%2C1155&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=560%2C842&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?resize=80%2C120&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_0208.jpg?w=796&amp;ssl=1 796w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I have one sister who I admire, and we love each other deeply, despite being very different from each other, but I also feel sisterly bonds to several of my friends. I thought this was described best in Adrienne Rich&#8217;s poetry. In the first poem, she alludes to a shared history (siblings are, after all the ones who know you longest and suffered the same family dynamics, even if in different roles), but does that allow you to claim true knowledge of the sibling? Is the stranger she uses as comparison really a travel acquaintance, or another version of the sister, or is it the poet herself, claiming we are unknowable even to ourselves in the end? Too complicated for my heat-addled brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"832\"

sisters are sitting<br>on rocks of black obsidian.<br>For the first time, in this light, I can see who they are.<br><br>My first sister is sewing her costume for the procession.<br>She is going as the Transparent lady<br>and all her nerves will be visible.<br><br>My second sister is also sewing,<br>at the seam over her heart which has never healed entirely,<br>At last, she hopes, this tightness in her chest will ease.<br><br>My third sister is gazing<br>at a dark-red crust spreading westward far out on the sea.<br>Her stockings are torn but she is beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <em><a

class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here are three sisters sitting at the water&#8217;s edge, (no sturgeon in sight, alas,) on rocks of black obsidian. Obsidian is, of course, sharp volcanic glass formed by quickly cooling molten lava, used since the Stone age for <strong>weapons<\/strong>, daggers, spears and knives included, but also as ornaments. In the realm of supernatural beliefs, it is associated with healing, protecting us from negative influences. &#8220;Its reflective properties are thought to help us recognize false beliefs we may have about ourselves so they can be released.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/thegemlibrary.com\/black-obsidian\/\">Ref<\/a>.) Hmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So, here they sit, on top of those symbols of mostly violent destruction, and yet healing dominates associations. Stitching together a costume that reveals rather than masks you, vulnerabilities and all, being true to yourself, in public no less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Stitching the scars of your broken heart, sewing as reparative action, such a familiar trope for women&#8217;s duties, but now these women mend themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The third sister has gone far beyond: she can leave the torn stockings as they are, seeing the scab from her wounds drift off towards the horizon, self-generated skin a strong enough renewal. She might have fallen, but picked herself up. She might have been violated, but wounds will heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=890%2C668&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9718.jpeg?w=1440&amp;ssl=1 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And given how most women I know see themselves reflected in one or the other of &#8220;our&#8221; sisters depicted here (on the mirror surface of the obsidian and in the hurt), this poem is a gift of encouragement and manifesting, with no further need for belief in talismans or other mystical powers.
