Recensioner i media

“Jasmine Holmes’s foray into fiction feels like a homecoming. With warmth and a wealth of insight, Holmes skillfully crafts in East Cobb a setting and story that does what only art can; it illumines the past and the present, creating for the reader a clarity that lasts beyond the page. Our Sister’s Keeper is breathtaking, too lovely for a nightmare and too tragic for a dream.” —Bethany. C Morrow, bestselling author of A Song Below Water and So Many Beginnings"Holmes’ first novel is a historical Southern Gothic nightmare that forces readers to confront shared trauma and the pain of the past. Holmes’ historian background meshes with lyrical writing to create a world that feels fully realized despite supernatural elements. Recommended for fans of Octavia Butler’s 1979 classic Kindred or Erin Crosby Eckstine's Junie."—Booklist“Our Sister’s Keeper combines historical details with incredibly imaginative fiction, making for an unforgettable story centered on women who bear the burdens of others. But what happens when they tire of suffering traumas that aren’t theirs, when it becomes clear that strength can be both a blessing and a curse? Set in the post–Reconstruction era South, Jasmine Holmes’s debut novel is a fascinating tale of past and present colliding in the twistiest of ways. This is a story of sisterhood in the face of obstacles closing in from every corner, and a testament to the strength and power of women united.” —Del Sandeen, author of This Cursed House
