When families collide, childhood breaks apart.

"The Sisters Antipodes is a riveting memoir that follows the journey of two families navigating through the complexities of love, relationships, and ultimately divorce. Jane Alison's personal account is a powerful story that explores the emotional impact on children when adults make choices that alter their world forever. The most unique feature of this book is its ability to capture the essence of childhood innocence, betrayal, and the lingering effects of trauma."

Description

A gorgeous and deeply intimate memoir about families breaking apart When Jane Alison was a child, her family met another that seemed like its a father in the Foreign Service, a beautiful mother, and two little girls, the younger two (one of them Jane) sharing a birthday. The families became inseparable almost instantly. Within months, however, affairs ignited between the adults, and before long the parents exchanged partners, then divorced, remarried, and moved on. Two pairs of girls were left in shock, a “silent, numb shock, like a crack inside stone, not enough to split it but inside, silently fissuring” that would prove tragic.
