Summary:
"
Two
Sisters
tells the unforgettable story of a family divided by faith. Sadiq and Sara, Somali immigrants raising a family in Norway, one day discover that
their
teenage
daughters
, Leila and Ayan, have vanished -- and are en route to Syria to aid the Islamic State. Seierstad’s riveting account traces the sisters’
journey
from secular, social democratic Norway to the front lines of the war in Syria, and follows Sadiq’s harrowing attempt to find them. Seierstad puts the problem of radicalization
into
painfully human terms, using instant messages and other primary sources to reconstruct a family’s crisis from the inside. Eventually, she takes us
into
the hellscape of the
Syrian
civil war, as Sadiq risks his life in pursuit of his
daughters
, refusing to let them disappear
into
the maelstrom -- even after they marry ISIS fighters.
Two
Sisters
is a relentless thriller and a feat of reporting with profound lessons about belief, extremism, and the meaning of devotion." --adapted from publisher description.
