This was a very entertaining novel because it was a bit different. Sisterland refers to the sign found in the bedroom of twins Kate and Vi when they were growing up. They were both born with some psychic abilities which allows them to sense future events. Sometimes that is good and sometimes not. Vi loved the gift but Kate tried desperately to leave it behind when she went off to college. Eventually the two sisters end up back in Saint Louis where they grew up. Vi is working as a psychic and lives a life quite different from that of her twin. Kate is married with two children. She also spends a lot of time checking on her widowed father. One night there is a small earthquake tremor. It shook Kate up (pun intended). Vi's reaction was a bit different. She had one of her premonitions - this time it is of a big earthquake, a really big one. She goes on TV to warn people and gives them a date for the event. Kate's life will never be the same. A great novel with interesting characters and some thought provoking moments. There were interesting relationships - between the sisters, between the sisters and their father and between Kate and her husband.
It is available here in the library, as an e-book or an audiobook.
