My Soul Twin

My Soul Twin by Nino Haratischvili is the most recent translated novel from one of Georgia’s most celebrated and internationally acclaimed writers — the author of The Eighth Life, one of the great European novels of the twenty-first century. A story of a friendship between two women that spans decades and continents, the novel unfolds across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries against a backdrop of political upheaval, displacement, and the particular kind of love that forms between women who understand each other at the deepest level. Haratischvili writes with the epic sweep and emotional intensity that characterise all her work, creating characters who live in the memory long after the last page. Published in English translation, this is essential for readers who have discovered Haratischvili and an excellent introduction for those new to one of contemporary European literature’s most important voices.
