Caught Reading: The Weird Sisters

Recently, there's been a lot of positive feedback at the staff desk about the newly-published book The Weird Sisters by debut author Eleanor Brown. Readers agree that it's a good, quick read about sisterhood, adulthood, destiny, and returning to the nest, all peppered with Shakespeare references that you don't need to be an English professor to understand. Here's the publisher's official summary: "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 to care for their ailing mother, and to lick their wounds and bury their secrets, they are horrified to find the others there. But the sisters soon discover that everything they've been running from might offer more than they ever expected." Sound interesting? Reserve your copy today!

  1. One of the best parts of this book is that it's written in first person plural, and amazing style I couldn't remember reading before. It's as if the sisters are as one, yet separate. The sisters are like most families, related but unique. I am one of 3 sisters so I can relate. I see myself most like one of the sisters, but I'm not saying, maybe you can guess after you've read the book.
    The sisters fled the small town of their youth, searching for the answers to the questions we all have when maturing, and yet they never expect to find the answer at home, together again. Their father speaks mostly in Shakespeare lines, but there is no need to have an intricate knowledge to relate to the story.
