Sadly, there are no plans for the North American edition as yet, but I'm hoping there will be one in the future. I'll post about it as soon as I know more.(less)

“It is funny how the lessons you teach your children to protect them end up becoming a wall that separates you.”
Tashan Mehta, Mad Sisters of Esi

“There are no words for the joy I felt upon finding Myung. We chose our names together. I picked Laleh because I liked the calm of the syllables, their weight and rolling depth. She decided on Myung; she liked the way the “y” sounded, like you are an instrument struck and still ringing. We chose our names because of each other, for what use is a name if there is no one to say it?”
Tashan Mehta, Mad Sisters of Esi

“Put enough of the world’s memories together and it becomes the imagination.”
Tashan Mehta, Mad Sisters of Esi
