Reviews
Write a review. This is a brilliant book. Intelligent, insightful and complex—but totally unpretentious—My Sister Chaos charts the effects of war and exile on the individual, in a clear and superbly original examination of the devastation and personal aftermath resulting from such experiences, all the while avoiding the banal sentiments often found in such novels. Dominique Wilson, Wetink[My Sister Chaos] ...is marvelous. I’m still not sure I fully understand it, but it kept me up all night the night I read it and I look forward to rereading it. Kristina Grob, Elevate DifferenceWith My Sister Chaos, Lara Fergus has limned the depths of a universal subject and created a stunningly powerful novel in the process.
