Praise
“Revelatory. . . . Evocative . . . with equal amounts grace and wit.” —Vogue
“A precise, subtle, sad and graceful story about how we care for each other.” —Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror
“Touching. . . . Dual Citizens has a lot in common with Zadie Smith’s Swing Time and Claire Messud’s The Burning Girl.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Ohlin’s prose and insight are luminous.” —Shelf Awareness
“Alix Ohlin’s gorgeous prose and deeply drawn characters pull readers easily through the decades, creating an unforgettable portrait of two women who find that the bonds of sisterhood transcend even the most conflicting definitions of happiness.” —San Francisco Book Review
“[An] engrossing, intricate tale. . . . Ohlin smartly chooses a broad scope and expertly weaves disparate lives into a singular thread, making for an exceptional depiction of the bond between sisters.” —Publishers Weekly
“A lovely, deeply moving work. A lyrical account of the lives of two women, their failures and hopes, and ultimately their quiet redemption.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Luminous. . . . Ohlin’s touching, beautifully crafted story traces the unbreakable bond holding the sisters together, even when miles apart, through many changes.” —Booklist
“Compelling and subtle. . . . Spare and thoughtful. . . . A gentle and moving exploration of what bonds us to those we love.” —Sewanee Review
“[A] compulsive read. . . . Ohlin asks questions about sisterhood, motherhood and self-knowledge in this novel about how we care for one another.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
“Alix Ohlin’s novel, true to its title, quietly refutes monolithic tenets that regard identity as something fixed and singular. . . . Dual Citizens is a long-term sororal love story and affecting double-portrait of female self-actualization untethered from established paradigms of ambition.” —Jury Citation, 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize
“With supreme confidence, Ohlin’s quicksilver-prose and brilliant characterization at once seize and pull the reader into the wide-ranging and complex world of half-sisters Robin and Lark as they struggle with questions of identity, the slow burn of mental illness, and the need to leave your mark on the world. . . . A compulsively readable novel about family, sisterhood, and those uncontrollable forces that drive and haunt us.” —Jury Citation, 2019 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize
