Sister-sister is the unforgettable story of twins, Thulisile and
Sindisiwe Nxumalo, set in a dystopian near-future South Africa. In
childhood, gregarious Thuli and stuttering, introverted Sindi, are
inseparable. But the arrival of an uncle they never knew they had
sets into motion a course of events that will destroy their
relationship and, eventually, their lives. In the twins' world,
petrol-driven cars have been banned, and diesel pirates sell
illegally distilled b-diesel to fuel junks. An unspeakable illness
has run wild, disseminating populations in poverty stricken rural
areas, and creating a market for untainted girls. In the townships
a new religion, led by The Black Preacher, urges women to become
Mothers for a New Mankind, and only those with pure blood are
allowed into the Believers fold. The novel is told in five parts,
interweaving present and past as the twins unwind their tragic
stories and find salvation in the most unexpected of places. The
second novel from the highly lauded author of Gem Squash Tokoloshe.
