April Bookclub Meeting: Sisters in Arms by Shida Bazyar

NB NOTE CHANGE OF DATE DUE TO EASTER

Hani, Kasih, and Saya have shared a deep friendship ever since they were kids. After years apart, the three young women meet again for a few days, to pick up where they left off. But regardless of what they have achieved, it becomes clear, again and again, that they can’t escape the racism that accompanies their daily lives: the glances, the chatter, the hatred, and the outright rightwing terror in Germany. But their friendship gives them stability. Until one dramatic night shakes everything up.

Translated from the German by Ruth Martin.
