The Sisterhood: A Novella of True Sisterhood

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ● From the bestselling author of The Stolen Violin comes a touching novella of the unrelenting force of love, the power of healing, and the invincible desire to dream ● Inspired by the lives of two World War II survivors

In their early teens, two girls were forced to sit next to each other in school. Although they were complete opposites-one a social butterfly and the other a withdrawn bookworm-they soon realized that they shared similar hopes and dreams. Over time, against all expectations, they became best friends.

Until the war broke out.

Now, each was thrown into opposite sides of the conflict. And mistakes were made-unforgivable mistakes, that would shape both their futures.

How could their friendship endure?

BASED ON A REMARKABLE TRUE STORY, with an appendix including authentic WWII photographs and documents.

Praise for The Sisterhood

"Wonderful... A wry, sharply observed tale of both heroism and coming-of-age-story during one of the darkest times in humanity." -Chicago Sun-Times

"Compulsively readable... In this 200-page novella Dubois's narrative proves to be a new, distinctively contemporary literary voice."-O, The Oprah Magazine

"Biting, brilliant exploration of a female friendship. And though The Sisterhood focuses on young women, readers need be neither young nor female in order to enjoy it..." -Publishers Weekly
