Engrossing, addictive and intelligent. One of the best comtemporary novels I read in years. -Heidi
isters is a twisting, compelling read from start to finish. Johnson provides a masterful look into the relationship of sisters June and September, born 10 months apart. Exiled to their aunt's beat-up old summer house, the girls explore every crumbling inch and wander the beach as the events of the previous months unfold. The house creates a haunting, intimate sense of place, and as their single mother sleeps through the days, the reader is left alone with the two girls. Johnson's language is evocative and hypnotic, a reminder of why she was short-listed for the Man Booker for her previous novel, Everything Under. Fans of Shirley Jackson and Barbara Comyns will recognize this skillful kind of creepy. Anyone wanting to get lost in a perfect eerie read will appreciate it just as much. -Heidi and Michael
Engaging, smart, easy to get lost in. I listened to it on Libro.fm and it was exactly what I needed. -Heidi
A short, strange, delightful book with a fairy tale like quality. -Heidi
