English Summary/英文概要: Antonia is an overweight thirty-year-old woman. Her job is a drag and her boyfriend became an ex when he realised he was gay. Solitary and withdrawn, Antonia binges to vent her depression. But her life changes overnight when she meets a girl who is her exact opposite: good-looking, slim, outgoing – so different, in fact, that she turns out to be Antonia’s sister! A sister Antonia never even knew existed, conceived in an unsuspected night of transgression by their swinger parents. At first the two find it hard to get along but eventually, and mostly thanks to her sister’s easygoing attitude, Antonia finds a more genuine spice in her life. With narrative realism and a fresh, ironic and straight-forward style, Raineri depicts irresistible female protagonists.
