Snowflakes (Part Two)

Publishing house: Al-Mahrousa Translator: Aya Hassan Number of pages: 362 They are four sisters Each with her own story *The eldest sister "Tsuruko" is a traditional model of a Japanese woman from the upper class in society. She sees, when given the chance, to revolt against her husband and to defend her younger sisters' rights to their inheritance from their father, which her husband seized due to Japanese customs and traditions that make the husband's brother-in-law the guardian and the head of the family after the father's death. Will "Tsuruko" revolt for her sisters' rights and her own that she has long neglected? And what about "Satsuko," the middle sister, who is considered a refuge for the two younger sisters when circumstances tighten around them... Will she accept to continue bearing their responsibilities, or will she prefer to get rid of them at the earliest opportunity? And what about the two younger sisters "Yukiko" and "Taiko"; will they submit to societal pressures, or are ambition and hopes stronger? In the second part, "Taiko" will surprise us with her dreams, her struggle, and her determination to achieve her goals, no matter the difficulties she faces.
