Narration During Books Sisterland

Curtis Sittenfeld, New York Times bestselling author of American Wife and Prep, returns with a mesmerizing novel of family and identity, loyalty and deception, and the delicate line between truth and belief.   From an early age, Kate and her identical twin sister, Violet, knew that they were unlike everyone else. Kate and Vi were born with peculiar “senses”—innate psychic abilities concerning future events and other people’s secrets. Though Vi embraced her visions, Kate did her best to hide them. Now, years later, their different paths have led them both back to their hometown of St. Louis. Vi has pursued an eccentric career as a psychic medium, while Kate, a devoted wife and mother, has settled down in the suburbs to raise her two young children. But when a minor earthquake hits in the middle of the night, the normal life Kate has always wished for begins to shift. After Vi goes on television to share a premonition that another, more devastating earthquake will soon hit the St. Louis area, Kate is mortified. Equally troubling, however, is her fear that Vi may be right. As the date of the predicted earthquake quickly approaches, Kate is forced to reconcile her fraught relationship with her sister and to face truths about herself she’s long tried to deny.   Funny, haunting, and thought-provoking, Sisterland is a beautifully written novel of the obligation we have toward others, and the responsibility we take for ourselves. With her deep empathy, keen wisdom, and unerring talent for finding the extraordinary moments in our everyday lives, Curtis Sittenfeld is one of the most exceptional voices in literary fiction today.

Criticize Regarding Books Sisterland

Sisterland was good, but also my least favorite of Sittenfelds books. Ive been a long time fan of her stories, devouring Prep, American Wife, Man of My Dreams, and most recently, earlier this year, Eligible. She writes enjoyable fiction. Sisterland is a story about two twin sisters, Vi and Daisy (Kate), who are very different but still stay connected. They fight and makeup regularly. Vi is a psychic, and her lifestyle embarrasses Daisy, who is a suburban St. Louis mom, desperate for normalcy.

I think anyone who has had a family member who makes him or her cringe, and that he or she has tried to keep a secret, will enjoy this book. If that family member is your sister, I think Sisterland will draw you in all the more. If you are fascinated by twins, you may also enjoy it. Heck, if you can read, you may just want to crack it open.The sisters in Sisterland are identical twins, Vi (short for Violet) and Kate. They are in their 30's. Their mother has been dead for a decade, and their

Daisy and Violet Shramm grew up as troubled young girls, struggling with their unhappy parents and being bullied at school, with their unusual abilities - they're psychic, a hazy set of abilities vaguely defined as their 'senses' - compounding these problems. Now the twin sisters are in their mid-thirties, and Daisy, who narrates this story, is married with two young children, having changed her name to the less distinctive Kate. Meanwhile, Vi has embraced the things that make her different; she

YepA fair crafted read that did hold my attention although it veered on the paranormal realm to fantasy for me.The concept of special powers is some things that lots of people believe but I just am not sure, call me Mrs Cynical.A 3.5* for holding my attention.

I'll start with a disclaimer. I like Sittenfeld. I hadn't read any other novel by her except for Prep before reading this one, but the only reason I would bother picking up something dealing with the paranormal is because I like the author. It's not my type of story. But it did keep me reading, and for that I credit the way Sittenfeld writes. But, it's really not all that good, plot-wise. The disharmony between two sisters, one who embraces her psychic senses, and the other who does not, is all

Yuck.This was horrible.I love the idea of twins, I even want them someday, just ask my husband I talk about it all the time! And then the fact that this book had psychic twins?! Uh, duh yeah! I wanted to read it.But this book...just YUCK! I had to finish it to know what happened, but seriously I just don't care.This read more like a day to day life than I ever wanted to hear about. I read books to escape my day to day life, not read about someone else cleaning up baby poop or doing laundry.

I think Curtis Sittenfeld is kind of underrated, and I've been trying to figure out why that is, and I was going to use this review to speculate about the reasons people might feel disappointed by her books despite the fact that I, personally, always enjoy them. Then I was reminded of how much it sucks when people can't explain why they like a book without condescending to the people who don't like it. Simply put, if you have to resort to talking about how other people don't "get" a book instead
