'It's I CAPTURE THE CASTLE meets THE VIRGIN SUICIDES, an eccentric and totally irresistible read' Glamour 'Three sisters, as different in temperament as King Lear's daughters, each return to their parental home, harbouring secrets ! A funny and insightful mirror to reality' Easy Living 'If you didn't know, you'd never guess that this thoroughly enjoyable novel was the author's first' Daily Mail 'What a joy to read. What a VOICE. The Weird Sisters is family drama dissected by verbal scalpel. If wit and language could protect against growing old, these bewitching sisters might never have to grow up.' Helen Simonson, best-selling author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand '5 stars' Heat Magazine 'Bright, literate debut!the stage clearly belongs to the sisters; Hamlet's witches would be proud of the toil and trouble they stir up.' Publisher's Weekly 'Even if you don't have a sister, you may feel like you have one after reading this hilarious and utterly winsome novel.' Sarah Blake, best-selling author of The Postmistress 'At once hilarious, thought-provoking and poignant, this sparkling and devourable debut explores the roles that we play with our siblings, whether we want to or not. The Weird Sisters is a tale of the complex family ties that threaten to pull us apart, but sometimes draw us together instead.' J. Courtney Sullivan, best-selling author of Commencement 'Eleanor Brown has written a compelling novel about love, despair and birth order-the themes the Bard himself had claimed and burnished.' Min Jin Lee, author of Free Food for Millionaires

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.
