Description
In a whale of babel that holds the world’s stories like living architecture, two sisters—Myung and Laleh—survive by trading in folktales, prayers, and the strange certainty of belief. When Myung flees, she tumbles into shifting universes where islands change shape, memories behave like weather, and even the dead argue back—forcing her to confront what the “mad sisters of Esi” truly are, and why everyone has been telling contradictory versions for generations. Blending meta-fantasy with dream logic and mythic inquiry, this novel explores how stories create reality, how faith can comfort or confine, and how sisterhood becomes both a tether and a test. With a lyrical, intellectually playful style reminiscent of genre-bending storytellers, it turns wonder into a question: in a world where truth keeps moving, what will you choose to believe—and what will you choose to pass on?
