When We Were Sisters by Fatimah Asghar
A lyrical, formally inventive story about three orphaned Muslim American sisters raised by an uncle after their parents die, who cling to one another while navigating neglect, displacement, and the strictures of patriarchy and community. Through fragmented vignettes and poems, the youngest sister traces grief, memory, and a fluid sense of self, including questions of queerness and gender. The result is a tender, searing portrait of how love, resilience, and chosen family can shape a life.
