Overview

Amara Okafor lives her life in pencil-quiet, erasable, and unnoticed. A librarian in the small town of Odera, Kenya, she is content to watch the world through the window of The Blue Door Café, filling notebooks with observations she never intends to share. But her invisibility is shattered when a letter arrives from Switzerland. Amara has won the prestigious International Verities Prize for a debut novel titled The Second Shadow. There is just one problem: Amara never wrote it. Thrust into the glittering, high-stakes literary world of Geneva, Amara discovers that someone hasn't just stolen her name-they have stolen her memories, her secrets, and her deepest thoughts. An impostor wearing a red coat is living the life Amara was too afraid to claim. Driven by a desperate need for the truth, Amara tracks the mysterious author from the cobbled streets of Zurich to the frozen peaks of the Alps. But when she finally confronts the thief, she doesn't find a villain. She finds Zahra-a woman running from a brutal past in their shared hometown, who donned Amara's identity like a shield to survive. As the press closes in and the lies begin to unravel, the two women must make a choice: destroy each other to protect their secrets, or collaborate to rewrite the ending. Lyrical, atmospheric, and deeply emotional, Paper Skins is a story about the masks we wear, the sisters we find in the margins, and the courage it takes to live a life written in ink.
