"There is no problem that a library card can't solve."
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, ostensibly to care for their ailing mother, but really to lick their wounds and bury their secrets, they are horrified to find the others there. "See, we love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much."
But the sisters soon discover that everything they've been running from-one another, their small hometown, and themselves-might offer more than they ever expected.
A major new talent tackles the complicated terrain of sisters, the power of books, and the places we decide to call home.

Review:
About the Author:
‘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
‘Three sisters, as different in temperament as King Lear’s daughters, each return to their parental home, harbouring secrets ... A funny and insightful mirror to reality’
Easy Living
‘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
A New York Times bestseller in both hardback and paperback, The Weird Sisters is Eleanor Brown’s debut novel.
