The Weird Sisters
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. Their father is a professor at a liberal arts college whose passion is Shakespeare and rather than giving advice or an opinion, often throws out quotes from one of the plays. All 3 girls have their issues and coming home to help Mom often takes a back seat to resolving the crises in their lives. I thought it would be fun to read a book about a family with 3 girls. Of course this family wouldn't have the same dynamic or problems as my family, but it would be an entertaining ride. Oddly, there were some amazing similarities. No, none of us are nymphomaniac thieves or came home pregnant without knowing who the father was (at least not me!). But the sentiment of loving each other and still feeling that sibling rivalry based on birth order must be universal because it completely resonated with me.
