You shouldn't mistake Sisterhood for light entertainment - its quite dark and disturbing.While I liked the book, I found that I failed to much like or empathise with either Helen or Liz - they are both too flawed to be very likeable and I have found this in other novels by Barr. She creates characters that are unbalanced in that they have few redeeming qualities to offset the flaws. This means I often find reading her novels uncomfortable because i want to like the main protaganist more than I do. I found myself with a couple of days and nothing pressing so thought I' allow myself a couple of easy reads. This was the second Emily Barr book I picked up.I found myself easily pulled along by the story and, although I really wanted to strangle Helen very early on, I was intrigued as to the twists alluded to on the book cover - which I managed to pick up on fairly early on.I enjoyed the book as a good chick-lit with a twist and it whiled away a sunny day in the garden. Good for relaxing but not a literary masterpiece!
I always love Emily Barr's novels & this one was great. I couldn't put it down.
