The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
Goodreads.com Synopsis:
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.
My Review: 4 out of 5 stars. What an interesting book. I enjoyed the stories between the 3 sisters. But I had a hard time with the narrator. It was as if all 3 sisters were narrating the story in unison because the narrator was talking in the plural. As in “we knew blah blah blah”, etc. That was the only thing that kept throwing me off. Other than that tiny hangup, I enjoyed the entire story. I enjoyed the stories within the stories as you got to know each sister.

Sounds interesting! I need to add some books to my to-read list and maybe I should add this one!
It’s hard to keep up when the narrator confuses you but I will add this one to my book list on pinterest I know what I will be doing on my holiday break.
I love stories about sisters, because it’s nice to know not everyone had smooth sailing with their siblings either. But, I see your point about the narrator. That would probably bug me, too!
The Weird Sisters sounds like an interesting book. I’m interested to check out your mention of the confusing narration. I wonder if that would bother me a lot.
I can’t handle when a story is narrated in the plural… it confuses my blonde brain. 🙂
I will have to give this a try! I am a total book nerd 😉
I’ve heard good things about this book. Will need to check it out- maybe for my upcoming long flight!
I find multiple narrators confusing as well…
That sounds very interesting. I like books that weave each other’s stories together.
The Weird Sisters sounds like a book I may like to read. Family stores are usually filled with lots of drama and angst, so I guess that’s why they pull me in.
I have weird sisters so I was interested in this book just hearing the title. Books about family stories are always interesting and entertaining.
Sounds like an interesting read. I am in the market for some new books. I will have to check this one out.
Sounds interesting. And yes, I will be adding this one to my reading list!
Sounds like a very interesting read! Sibling interactions are always fun, and the weirder the better…makes me feel more normal!
Automatically when you tell me it’s a story about three sisters, I’m interested. There’s bound to be some drama there!
I can’t hand multiple narrators, it makes me a little nutty.
Sounds like a pretty good read!
I love to read. I’m always on the lookout for good new books, thanks.
Found your blog through the Texas Women Bloggers. Looking forward to going through your posts!
4/5 sounds like this book will be a great one to add to my reading list!
I read the weird sisters and immediately though of myself and my sisters. This sounds like one I would enjoy reading.
While the book sounds interesting I don’t know if I could get past the “we” in the narration. I might still give it a try though if I can find it in my library.
4 out 5 stars is good! I’m always looking for new books, I’ll be checking this out!
