{"product_id":"amanda-koe-lee-sister-snake-9780063355064","title":"Sister Snake","description":"A glittering, bold, darkly funny novel about two sisters-one in New York, one in Singapore-who are bound by an ancient secret Sisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. 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 connecting them to Chinese mythology: 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 this literary fantasy 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 Emerald's 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 modern retelling about being seen for who you are-and, ultimately, how to live free.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53739383325014,"sku":"9780063355064-G","price":13.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780063355064_1.jpg?v=1779106783","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/amanda-koe-lee-sister-snake-9780063355064","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
