Description
Whitney Award Finalist 2021
Shisei is said to be the cursed twin -- bringer of death -- plagued by a kitsune only she can see.
When another of her brothers dies at birth, Shisei, the fourth of seven sisters, flees her home, disguises herself as a boy, and apprentices herself to an isolated mask maker.
But death follows her still, and when her youngest sister is accused of murder, Shisei can either keep running or lead her sisters in a deception that may save the youngest or condemn them all.
An exquisite tale of hope and redemption that combines complicated sisterly bonds, deadly deceptions, the poetry of possibility, and a trickster kitsune.
Inspired by the folktale The Seven Brothers
"Every description and dialogue is so authentic that it is like looking into another place and time and immerses you in a world where myths are reality but superstition also abounds. The characters are intensely human. One of the captivating elements is how true to life they are." - Rick Haws
Little Women x Spirited Away
