The Weird Sisters

"There is no problem a library card can't solve," a core belief for the three Andreas sisters who have returned to their childhood home, faced with their parents' frailty, their own disappointments, and reuniting the eccentric family. People magazine calls this "delightful." From the publisher: "Here, books are a passion and TV is something other people watch. Their father-a professor of Shakespeare who speaks almost exclusively in verse-named them after the Bard's heroines. It's a lot to live up to. The sisters have a hard time communicating with their parents and their lovers, but especially with one another. What can the shy homebody eldest sister, the fast-living middle child, and the bohemian youngest sibling have in common? Only that none has found life to be what was expected; and now, not even a book can solve what ails them."
