About this title

Review:

‘Bright, literate debut...the stage clearly belongs to the sisters; Hamlet’s witches would be proud of the toil and trouble they stir up.’
Publisher’s Weekly

‘What a joy to read. What a VOICE. The Weird Sisters is family drama dissected by verbal scalpel. If wit and language could protect against growing old, these bewitching sisters might never have to grow up.’
Helen Simonson, best-selling author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

‘Even if you don't have a sister, you may feel like you have one after reading this hilarious and utterly winsome novel.’
Sarah Blake, best-selling author of The Postmistress

‘At once hilarious, thought-provoking and poignant, this sparkling and devourable debut explores the roles that we play with our siblings, whether we want to or not. The Weird Sisters is a tale of the complex family ties that threaten to pull us apart, but sometimes draw us together instead.’
J. Courtney Sullivan, best-selling author of Commencement

‘Eleanor Brown has written a compelling novel about love, despair and birth order-the themes the Bard himself had claimed and burnished.’
Min Jin Lee, author of Free Food for Millionaires
