Sisters is an exciting novel by Shobha De. It tells an absorbing and thrilling story of two sisters Mikki (Mallika) and her half-sister Alisha.
Alisha was born of Hiralal and his mistress Leelaben. It is also the story of violence and wide conspiracy that is hatched by Ramanbhai, a long and well-trusted man (servant) of the Hiralal Industries. His conspiracy is exposed by the end of the novel when two sisters, Mikki and Alisha who hate and despise each other in the beginning of the novel, have started liking and doting on each other.
It is also the story of the illicit relationships between Hiralal and Leelaben, Mikki and Navin, Mikki and Binny, Alisha and Navin, and Alisha and Dr. Kurien. Shobha De exposes the illicit relations and affairs as well as liaisons among the so called upper class people and the business community.
