Emerging and well-known writers, among them Rita Dove, Barbara Kingsolver, Mary Karr, Julia Glass and Audre Lorde, write about the love, the drama, the humor and the heartbreak of being a sister. Marie Louise Kaschnitz has a poignant dialogue with her dead sibling; M.F.K. Fisher writes about her proud older sister Norah, and a sad moment when Fisher rejected her; Joyce Armor tells, in verse, of tables being turned and a trick gone awry in "Sweet Dreams."

November 20, 2009, PEOPLE MAGAZINE: 3.5 out of 4 stars Writers including Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker explore sisterhood in this intelligent collection. Don't look for sugar sweetness here; do expect heartache. One woman mourns th younger sister she lost. Another recalls trying to be "A good daughter" while her wilder sister broke loose. The book makes it clear that sisters don't outgrow their bonds. "Life doesn't go backwards and I want to know you," poet Daisy Zamora writes. "To recognize you./"That is, to get to know you again." Once a sister, always one. |
