The Weird Sisters / Eleanor Brown / 318 Pages

Three sisters, each different and each trying to find her own place in the family & world, all come back home located in a small college town for different reasons. Their father is a distinguished Shakespearean professor and communicates through quoting the Bard. The girls, all named after Shakespearean characters, grew up immersed in the plays and sonnets and can recite lines at will. The entire family is constantly immersed in reading all types of books. In the end, they each find who they are and their path in life. This is a very thoughtful book. As readers, it makes you think about why you are reading so much! As parents, it makes you think deeply about your continuing impact on your children. If you are a sibling, it makes you think about your place in the family. I think this would be an excellent Book Club Discussion title. A well-written book that's meaty with themes.
