About the book

"One day my sister disappeared is Christine Orban's meditation on family, grief, and identity. In spare and tender prose, Orban reflects on the death of her younger sister, Maco, and her enduring presence." "The story begins in Morocco, where Christine and Maco share an idyllic childhood riding horses and collecting seashells. The bond between them is profound, yet the sisters are quite different from each other, While bookish Christine goes off to university in Paris to immerse herself in a world of ideas, Maco remains at home, eventually falling in love with and marrying a wealthy Muslim. But Maco's life soon crumbles under the strain of her husband's infidelities, and the two divorce. When Moroccan law separates Maco from her children, she turns to her beloved sister for solace and support. Unfortunately, Christine is helpless to protect Maco from a tragic fate."--BOOK JACKET.
