Sisterland

by Curtis Sittenfeld

Welcome to Sisterland, population: 2. Occupants are twins Daisy and Violet Shramm. Sisterland existed when they were kids; they’re all grown up now.

Violet is still “Vi.” She makes a living as a psychic. Daisy now goes by “Kate Tucker” and is a happily married mother of two. The twins are thrown back into Sisterland when Vi makes a bold prediction about an earthquake on TV.

This takes Kate back to her childhood in Saint Louis and all of the trials and tribulations of being a twin with “the senses.”

I really enjoyed this exploration of sisterhood and family and psychic abilities. A truly excellent read!
