[ONLY FOR SALE OUTSIDE SOUTH ASIA] The Other Sister is a haunting exploration of a social media generation that’s hyper-connected yet somehow still isolated and misunderstood. The main character Maya kicks off a mini-crisis by going offline and ghosting her closest friends. As their enquiry into her absence gets increasingly frantic, Maya herself oscillates between fear and honesty, therapy and godmen, superstition and nostalgia. Coming to terms with generational trauma and its impact when there are half-truths and whispers to contend with and very few facts at hand, she realises just how much is at stake. This is a story of the ties that bind even as others fray, a story about those who leave and those who stick around – above all, this is a story about love. Even in loss. Praise for The Other Sister: I love this book very much... The way [Amrita] weaves the fascinating narrative of these amazing characters across generations (has) so many important significant relevant themes for our times. Dr Shelja Sen What Tripathi handles exceptionally, is grief. It runs through the book like a background score – so soft sometimes that it is barely a whisper and at times deafening. Mandira Nayar, Scroll The Other Sister is a perfect read for anyone who is interested in stepping into the shoes of today’s youth. Rutvik Bhandari, The New Indian Express
