Have you started SISTER SNAKE?

“To be without language, without distraction, with someone you love. Language has given them ways of hiding from each other ... The currency of spoken language forces everything to be too precise, yet not enough.” ― Amanda Lee Koe, SISTER SNAKE

SISTER SNAKE is a modern reimagining of the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake,” about one white snake, one green, both transformed into women bound by their love and ancient secret across the span of centuries. This book is filled with dark humor, raw emotion, queerness, chosen family, and explores the concept of bonds and freedom: how can we be accepted (and accept ourselves) exactly as we are.
