The Other Sister

Julia Brannon is a stubbornly independent woman who refuses her daughter's offer to move in with her and insists on living in a retirement home. As Julia looks back at her past, she records memories of her identical twin Jane and their disparate personalities, yet intertwined lives. From learning about sex and falling in love, to coping with the tragedies of their individual lives, she notes down the stories of her and "Sissa" at the same time as she befriends Lena, also a twin, who lost her sister at Auschwitz, and Daniel, Julia's second chance at friendship and love. Shuttling between past and present, over the span of almost a century, The Other Sister weaves personal, local and global histories into an intricate narrative tapestry to form the heart of this story.
