Description During Books The Weird Sisters

Watch a video A major new talent tackles the complicated terrain of sisters, the power of books, and the places we decide to call home. There is no problem that a library card can't solve. The Andreas family is one of readers. Their father, a renowned Shakespeare professor who speaks almost entirely in verse, has named his three daughters after famous Shakespearean women. When the sisters return to their childhood home, ostensibly to care for their ailing mother, but really to lick their wounds and bury their secrets, they are horrified to find the others there. See, we love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much. But the sisters soon discover that everything they've been running from-one another, their small hometown, and themselves-might offer more than they ever expected. 10 Hours and 26 Minutes Imprint: Penguin Audio Genre: Fiction - Family Life - General Release Date: January 20, 2011

Commentary Based On Books The Weird Sisters

Three women who have sort of failed at life show back up on their parents doorstep after finding out their mother has cancer. Eldest sister, Roselyn, is a control freak who uses her mothers illness as an excuse to stay in her hometown while her fiance teaches in Oxford for a year. Middle sister, Bianca, ditched her small town to live the big city life in New York, embezzled lots of money from her company for designer clothing, skipped out on rent, and charged up her credit cards. Her return to

Is every book set in Ohio?This is the second book in a row that I have read set here in Ohio. The first one,Knockemstiff, was most excellent; Weird Sisters Im sorry to say was shit. This book was just, beyond words, sucky. Gack! I even finished it because I wasnt going to let it beat me.Heres the clever premise. Three sisters by the names of Bianca, Cordelia , and Rose (short for Roselyn? I just dont care) are born to a family who cant stop reading..ever. They are born to parents whose names I

I would have abandoned this book if I hadn't been traveling this week. Much like The Cookbook Collector, it's the story of upper-middle-class sisters testing the boundaries and distinctions between one another, only here there is an additional veneer of literary vanity in the form of copious quotations from Shakespeare. In this book, you see, the sisters' father is a professor specializing in the Bard, so they all quote him as the occasion rises. It's supposed to be clever, but I came away with

Poor Eleanor Brown. I think from reading other reviews she unfairly gets a bad rap. Yes it's true this book is is not high class literature but it is an interesting take on birth order roles and interactions of siblings. It's also true that the characters often are self absorbed malcontents (as one good read reviewer put it) but their struggles, while they may seem superficial to some, feel genuine and their pain real. Also I think the idea of three sibling coming home to care for their ailing

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ Sisters keep secrets. Because sisters secrets are swords. This space could probably remain blank and a whole ton of you would go buy The Weird Sisters for this little blurb alone . . . There is no problem that a library card can't solve. I should probably leave it at that because I have no clue what to say about this book. Here, allow me to distract you with some giffery . . . . Ahhhh, thats better. All glory and honor to the

What bibliophile could resist The Weird Sisters, a story about three book-loving but otherwise very different sisters all named for characters from Shakespeare? Ive succumbed to its charms twice, reading the book in 2011 and listening to the audio version in 2014.My review from 2011:I loved this satisfying, hopeful, intelligent book from start to finish. Its a sort of belated coming of age story about three twentysomething, verging on thirtysomething, sisters who grew up in the small college

A feel-good book, something that will burn your heart with affection to the characters, and at the end will warm your heart with its story.The story is simple - three sisters who were reunited in their home town to aid their ailing mother. There's nothing fancy about the plot, except when you started to read it. What I love about the book is how expected each moment can be, yet there is a dash of twist in each way the story was told. Each sisters has their own story, which they tried to ran away
