This is the "delightful" (People) New York Times bestseller that's earned raves from Sarah Blake, Helen Simonson, and reviewers everywhere-the story of three sisters who love each other, but just don't happen to like each other very much... Three sisters have returned to their childhood home, reuniting the eccentric Andreas family. Here, books are a passion (there is no problem a library card can't solve) and TV is something other people watch. Their father-a professor of Shakespeare who speaks almost exclusively in verse-named them after the Bard's heroines. It's a lot to live up to.The sisters have a hard time communicating with their parents and their lovers, but especially with one another.

Only that none has found life to be what was expected; and now, faced with their parents' frailty and their own personal disappointments, not even a book can solve what ails them...

Like the Andreas sisters we also love to read, we even read when we eat. But I'm close to my siblings, un...

4.5 The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
I knew within a couple pages that I would enjoy this book. If you're looking for high drama, this is not the book for you. It's a lovely quiet family drama about 3 sisters coming back home to help care for their mother with cancer. The only thing that I had a bit of trouble with was what's called th...
