Su leads a sheltered, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once, they were snakes, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China.A thousand years later, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her-but she soon begins to worry that Emeralds irrepressible behavior will out them both, in a sparkling, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect.Razor-sharp, hilarious, and raw in emotion, Sister Snake explores chosen family, queerness, passing, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale The Legend of the White Snake, this is a novel about being seen for who you are-and, ultimately, how to live free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51530612408608,"sku":"NEW006335506X","price":15.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71-SYId6eaL.jpg?v=1777267332","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sister-snake-a-novel-006335506x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
