The Alphabet Sisters

This is an earlier book by Monica McInerney who wrote the book The Faraday Girls. As in her new book, this one is filled with the relationships between family members. In this book we are introduced to three adult sisters who have not spoken to one another in years. Their parents accept the situation but their paternal grandmother wants to put an end to the estrangement. Grannie uses her 80th birthday as an excuse to guilt everyone into coming together again. I'm sure that you can already guess the ending - but how they get there is the real story. If you are looking for sex, violence and suspense....well look somewhere else. If you like Maeve Binchy and Rosamund Pilcher-type books you will enjoy this one.
