Unwillingly brought together to care for their ailing mother, three sisters who were named after famous Shakespearean characters discover that everything they have been avoiding may prove more worthwhile than expected. A first novel.
Three daughters of a Renaissance literature professor are named after Shakespearean ladies: Rosalind, Cordelia, and Bianca. In this spirit, the girls collectively embrace a teasing nickname inspired by MacBeth's witches, and in THE WEIRD SISTERS author Eleanor Brown unites their voices by narrating with the unusual plural-first-person "we." When the sisters' mother grows ill with cancer, all three grown women return to their Ohio hometown where over the course of a special summer each discovers opportunities for redemption, reconciliation, and literary playfulness.
