Author's Note states "This is a documentary account. It is based on testimony." First published in Norwegian. Åsne Seierstad (1970) is a Norwegian journalist and writer, best known for her accounts of everyday life in war zones - most notably Kabul after 2001, Baghdad in 2002 and Grozny in 2006. The true story of two sisters' journey to the Islamic State and the father who tries to bring them home. Two Sisters tells the 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 traces the sisters' journey from secular, democratic Norway to the war in Syria, and follows Sadiq's harrowing attempt to find them. Employing a mastery of narrative suspense, 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. Derived from a Kirkus review: An unblinking journalistic account of the life of the jihadi. "You did not suddenly wake up one day a fanatic," writes Norwegian journalist Seierstad toward the end of this insightful story of immigrant dreams betrayed. "It was a direction you grew in." Sadiq had come to Norway with his wife from Somalia and there, by hard work and no small travail, had raised two daughters and a son. In late adolescence, having slipped into a gradual fundamentalist outlook, the two daughters vanished only to announce, both defiantly and apologetically, that they were off to battle the infidels on the battlefields of Syria. Their journey led them into a hornet's nest of Islamic State terrorists from every corner of the Muslim world arrayed against a Russian-backed dictatorship; there they plunged ever further into the violent jihadi cause. As the daughters, never quite silent or out of sight, became more religious, the son became more militant in rejecting Islam; part of the value of Seierstad's informative account is to witness the back-and-forth emails among them: "God.is such a self-obsessed asshole that he wants the people he 'created' to pray to him five times a day and for those who don't believe in him to be killed," writes the son, to which the daughter replies, "instead of talking crap and being offensive try finding the truth or shut up and respect other people's choices." Meanwhile, even as his family was falling apart, Sadiq tried to remove his daughters from Syria-no easy matter when they didn't want to leave, standing by their choice to submit to IS. "Is it ethically defensible to focus on the lives of two girls when they have not granted their consent?" Seierstad wonders at the end. That is for readers to decide, now knowing much more about what drives people to fanatical causes. First American Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Signed.…
