Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Size: 7.9 x 5.2 x 0.8 inches; Paperback in good condition. This book is in stock ready for immediate dispatch. 1995 Anchor edition. Amazon-One of several excellent pieces in this well-crafted anthology on the ties that bind sisters is the powerfully affecting essay "Last Things." In it, novelist Debra Spark writes movingly, humorously, and painfully of her sister Cyndy, who died of breast cancer at 26. Several other stories and essays have equally poignant origins, springing from siblings mired in illness or lost to violence, and written, of course, by the sisters who got away. Still, even the bleaker pieces hold lovely, ethereal moments and the relationships between sisters are full and complex. Warmth, love, hilarity, shared memories, and the fierce competition of blood rivals are well represented, too. In a bedroom shared by two young sisters in "My Gertrude Stein, " Anita, the more intrepid, sensual one has the bed by the window. On hot, sticky nights she sleeps splayed across the sheets in "star position, " describing breezes her sister is dying to feel. "It's exquisite, " says Anita. "Like a cat brushing past.
