There are certain bonds that neither time, nor fear, nor distance can break.
Identical twins Cécile and Olivia were separated when they were young and raised worlds apart. Fiercely independent and strong-willed, they have built radically different lives—until fate draws them back toward each other.
Cécile works as an investigator for Interpol. A desperate call for help from a remote village in Southeast Asia sends her in search of a missing graduate and puts her on the trail of a criminal enterprise far more powerful than she could have imagined.
Thousands of miles away, Olivia is pursuing her scientific research in Boston. As the administration moves to silence the scientific community, her boss, Molly, invites her to join a clandestine resistance network.
The sisters’ lives could hardly be more different. Yet each, in her own way, is searching for the truth.
Then, one evening, Olivia disappears.
To find Olivia, Cécile must do the unthinkable: step into her sister’s life.
The Rebel Sisters is a sweeping international thriller about freedom and resistance, truth and courage, and two sisters separated by life but bound by something stronger.
“This novel is striking for its ability to capture the upheavals of our times without ever sacrificing the pleasure of reading. […] Marc Levy has created a novel of adventure and political commitment, carried by two captivating heroines and a host of charming side characters, proving that a story can both entertain and rouse spirits. The sequel is awaited with understandable impatience.”
“This is already Marc Levy’s twenty-seventh novel and it could very well have the largest readership of all, once again.”
“We absolutely loved The Rebel Sisters!”
“A political thriller set against the backdrop of Trump’s America, and international organised crime and human trafficking. The novel takes us into the underground networks that are shaking our democracies -challenging every reader to consider their own capacity to resist. (…) Crisp and effective, Levy draws readers into the unsettling realities of our time, bringing to life kindhearted heroes for us to cheer on.”
“A novel rooted in the reality facing American scientists, shedding light on recent government decisions restricting scientific freedom.”
“A novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
“A politically engaged and very timely thriller carried by two modern-day heroines.”
“Marc Levy has a sharp understanding of the hidden forces that are threatening our freedom. Among the many strengths of his novels is their ability to bring complex issues to life, make them accessible to a broad audience, and reaffirm through fiction that there is no greater honour than standing up for what is right. And the first half of The Rebel Sisters ends on one hell of a cliffhanger!”
“Marc Levy delivers an exceptioal political thriller, centered around two very different twin sisters. It’s impossible to put down. Levy makes books that will hopefully inspire readers to stand up to the forces of obscurantism and populism.”
“Good luck to anyone who reads the first volume without already having the second one on hand—because you’ll be hooked and desperate to find out what happens next.”
“Through the story of twin sisters who could not be more different, France’s most widely read novelist delivers a timely and deeply researched new book. (…) Marc Levy brilliantly pulls us into two completely different worlds to expose scandals that could hardly be more newsworthy. It’s a deeply human book and these two women are everyday heroines—characters we can’t help but become attached to.”
“Marc Levy’s latest novel is utterly absorbing. Shifting from Boston to Paris, and all the way to Singapore, the first volume of The Rebel Sisters explores the fault lines shaping the world today. The novel tackles serious and provocative themes while remaining gripping and fast-paced.”
“The Rebel Sisters is a gripping two-part thriller packed with suspense, adventure and unexpected twists (…) Marc Levy has a rare ability to make even the most complex subjects accessible to a wide audience, while seamlessly combining gripping storytelling with a compelling message.”
“Beyond the suspense, Marc Levy is now pioneering a new genre: the whistleblower novel. A breathtaking read that makes waiting for the next volume almost unbearable.”
