After Anatevka: A Novel Inspired by Fiddler on the Roof

Obsessed with ‘she,’ our narrator moves through her days presided over by the all-too-real ghost of the first marriage, fantasizing about how the first wife lives her life. Will the narrator ever equal ‘she’ intellectually or ever forget the betrayal that lies between them? And what of the secrets between her husband and ‘she,’ from which the narrator is excluded?

The daring and precise build up to an eerily wonderful denouement is a triumph of subtlety and surprise. With Sisters, Lily Tuck delivers a riveting psychological portrait of marriage, infidelity, and obsession.
