Synopsis "Sisters in Arms "

An explosive feminist and anti-racist novel about the importance of friendship. "We don't exist in this world. Here, we are neither Germans nor refugees, we don't report the news and we aren't the experts. We're some sort of wildcard." Hani, Kasih, and Saya have shared a deep friendship ever since they were kids. After years apart, the three young women meet again for a few days, to pick up where they left off. But regardless of what they have achieved, it becomes clear, again and again, that they can't escape the racism that accompanies their daily lives: the glances, the chatter, the hatred, and the outright rightwing terror. But their friendship gives them stability. Until one dramatic night shakes everything up. Sisters in Arms is a provocative, uncompromising, and moving novel about the extraordinary alliance between three young women and the only thing that makes a self-determined life possible in a society that doesn't tolerate otherness: unconditional friendship.

Shida Bazyar (1988) es una escritora alemana de origen iraní, formada en escritura creativa en Hildesheim y con experiencia en el ámbito de la educación juvenil. Su obra se centra en temas como la migración, la memoria y la identidad, explorando con precisión las tensiones entre origen y pertenencia. Su novela The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran —publicada originalmente en alemán— la consolidó como una voz destacada de la narrativa contemporánea, al retratar la vida de una familia iraní a lo largo de décadas de revolución, exilio y retorno.

Con esta obra, Bazyar obtuvo el Blogger Literary Award, el Ulla Hahn Prize y el Uwe Johnson Prize, además de alcanzar proyección internacional al ser finalista del International Booker Prize 2026. Su estilo combina estructura coral y sensibilidad política, construyendo relatos donde lo íntimo y lo histórico se entrelazan sin estridencias. También es autora de Sisters in Arms, reafirmando un interés constante por las dinámicas sociales y las voces desplazadas dentro de Europa contemporánea.
