After a thirty-year absence, Clémence returns to the remote mountain where she and her twin sister Lucie were born and where Lucie still lives.

Then the siren goes off, the dreaded warning that the glacier above their village is about to crack, and soon destroy everything in its path.

Lucie is desperate to evacuate, along with the rest of the villagers, but Clémence insists they stay. She says she's on the run—no one must know she's come back.

The two women are trapped. One terrified, one strangely calm, they shelter together beneath the glacier, surviving on dwindling supplies.

As catastrophe looms over them, the sisters’ lifelong conflicts return. But which one is telling the truth about their past?

My Sister is a novel about siblings who fear and love each other. In this spine-chilling novel, Emmanuelle Salasc drills deep into our relationship with nature—and with those closest to us.
