Called to their father's deathbed, the sisters must confront a man little changed by the fact of his mortality. Vicious and pathetic in equal measure, Eugene Kim wants one thing: to see which of his children will abject themselves for his favor-- and more importantly, his fortune. From their childhood in California to the depths of a mid-Atlantic winter, the solitary sisters Kim must face a brutal past colliding with their present. Grasping at their broken bonds of sisterhood, they will do what is necessary to escape the tragedy of their circumstances--whatever the cost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Minah, the eldest, the money would be recompense for their father's cruelty. A practicing lawyer with an icy pragmatism, she dreams of a family of her own and sets to work on securing her inheritance. For Sarah, a gifted and embittered academic who wields her intelligence like a weapon, confronting her father again forces her to reckon with the desperation of her present life. It is left to the youngest-- directionless and loving Esther-- to care for their father in her lonely quest to do right by everyone. A fortune pales in comparison to the prospect of finally reuniting with her sisters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a legacy of violence haunting their lives, the sisters dare to imagine a better future even as their father's poison courses through their blood. A contemporary reimagining of Dostoevsky's dark classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e, Maureen Sun's brilliant debut is a vivid and visceral exploration of rage, shame, and the betrayals of intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Unnamed Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50604706726162,"sku":"9781961884069","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_59344374-e1b4-4b06-958f-a95c606798fc.jpg?v=1732263298","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sisters-k-9781961884069","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
