«Hermanas» is the novel by Josefina Aldecoa, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (229 pages, in Spanish).
Isabel and Ana share a childhood marked by a present and contradictory mother, though each develops opposing longings: one wishes to start a family and be happy; the other, to be free and independent. These aspirations determine their lives, and the appearance of the same man in both turns them into rivals and tests their bond.
The work originally appeared at Alfaguara in 2008; the 2009 edition is from Punto de Lectura.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in family relationships, sibling rivalry and female characters.
