Everything you need to understand or teach The Sisters by Jonas Hassen Khemiri .
Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s The Sisters is a literary novel that follows three Stockholm sisters, Ina, Evelyn, and Anastasia Mikkola, across several decades as they navigate love, work, grief, and the lingering belief that their family is under a curse. Told through shifting viewpoints that mix close third-person scenes with first-person passages from a writer who has known them since childhood, the story traces their mother’s death, the sisters’ diverging paths, and the ruptures that pull them apart and bring them back into contact. Key plot elements include Ina’s marriage and motherhood, Anastasia’s search for roots and reinvention, Evelyn’s disappearance abroad, and a late effort to confront the superstition that has shaped their choices. Major themes include sisterhood, family legacy, identity and belonging, fate versus agency, grief, and the power of storytelling.
