The Looking-Glass Sisters

A tragic love story about two sisters who cannot live with or without each other. Far out on the plains of northern Norway stands a house.

It belongs to two middle-aged sisters. They seldom venture out and nobody visits. The older needs nursing and the younger keeps house.

Then, one day, a man arrives...------- Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This is a tragedy about a woman who yearns for love but ends up in a painfully destructive conflict with her sister.

It is also a story about loneliness - both geographical and psychological.

Facing the prospect of a life without love, we fall back into isolating delusions at exactly the moment when we need to connect.' Meike Ziervogel, Publisher
