Set in 20th-century El Salvador, The Volcano Daughters is a powerful novel about sisterhood, art, and a community of women who refuse to be silenced.
'A gripping and spellbinding novel about a sisterhood ripped apart by violence, narrated by a ghostly chorus. An unforgettable debut.' Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half
El Salvador, 1923. Two sisters, raised in the shadow of a brutal dictatorship, must take separate journeys to escape the genocide that engulfs the country they love. Each believing the other to be dead, they flee across the globe, reinventing themselves and building very different lives along the way. But their paths will cross once more, for neither girl can forget the ghosts of the murdered friends they left behind. Fate will bring them back together, and when that happens, the voices of the dead will be heard once more.
Their story is not yet over.
Endlessly surprising, vividly imaginative, bursting with lush life, The Volcano Daughters is a story about the strength of sisterhood against all odds.
