June Book Club Meeting

June Book Club Meeting

Host: Dickie

Book: The Weird Sisters, A Novel, by Eleanor Brown

Response of the Book Club Members: Some people liked this book and some did not but everyone agreed that it was a great book to lead to a discussion of family dynamics, birth order,
sibling rivalry and dealing with an ill elderly parent. The three main characters were the older sister described as controlling, the middle sister described as without morals and the baby sister described as the pretty and loving one. The setting for this family saga is just east of Columbus, Ohio where the father is a Shakespearean professor at a private college that all three sisters attended. The book is sprinkled with lots of Shakespeare's quotes. Some members liked the quotes and some found them distracting.
