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 t...
The Andreas family of Barnwell, Ohio is a bookish one. Father is a professor of English at Barnwell College, renowned as a Shakespeare scholar and more than a little obsessed with the works of the immortal bard. Each of his daughters is named for a Shakespearean heroine: Rosalind, called Rose, Bianc...
The Weird Sisters - Eleanor Brown I loved the use of the first person plural narrator. You don't see that very often, but in this case it fit the story perfectly. I enjoyed hearing the story told by the sisters as one entity. The authors use of quotes from Shakespeare peppered through the dialogu...
I picked up this book because it is the story of 3 adult sisters (I come from a family of 3 girls) who have all returned home when their mother is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Three sisters, Cordy (Cordelia), Bean (Bianca) and Rose (Rosalind), who were brought up by parents ensconced in the world of academia, with the father, in particular, speaking to them using quoted verse from Shakespeare, and a mother whose mind wandered at times, leaving them adrift and who thought ...

It sucked me in from the start with the wonderful first-person plural narration and kept me going through the admittedly clichéd/predictable plot with the smart and well-captured moments of how siblings.... I don't know, how they 'work' I guess. It's a sun-drenched summertime novel, one that evokes...
It might just be me, or maybe my expectations were too high, but I just didn't love this book. I'll admit the book grew on me as it went along. But I think my fundamental problems with the book had to do with too much telling, albeit clever telling, and not enough showing, and the characters just di...
The Weird Sisters is an absolute pleasure to read. It’s rich with literary references, girls curled up in nooks and reading for comfort and relief, and college/small-town charm. The voice of the story is unique, but rather than become a hindrance, the plural collective of the sisters (which is how ...
