I sympathize that you feel this way

For Alice and Hannah, the saint and the sinner, growing up is a trial. Their mother adheres to a 'divide and conquer' approach in raising them, while their father employs a tactic of absence. There is also their older brother... Michael, whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned with. And finally, there is a family catastrophe that is never spoken of, yet has shaped everyone in the family.
As adults, Alice and Hannah continue their journey down the road of
disappointments; their lives are nothing like what they imagined in childhood. They long to finally find a completely different path — not one filled with thistles and thorns, potholes and obstacles, but one of love, joy, and laughter. But the path of life twists and turns through wild landscapes, until it becomes clear: nothing will work out until they sort out their relationships with each other and with their mother. They will either fix everything or burn it all to the ground.
An intelligent and subtle novel about family, about closeness, about how you can search for yourself or run away from yourself as much as you want, but achieve nothing until you stop and look in the eyes of those who have always been nearby.
“I sympathize that you feel this way” is a tragedy that is funnier than any comedy.
