Publisher Description

A spellbinding coming of age novel about three sisters and the relationships and choices that shape their lives from the bestselling author of Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, The Rules of Magic
 
"This bewitching novel explores the bonds of sisterhood like a haunting modern fairy tale."—Glamour

Each of three sisters—Elv, Claire, and Meg—has a fate she must meet alone: one on a country road, one in the streets of Paris, and one in the corridors of her own imagination. Inhabiting their world are a charismatic man who cannot tell the truth, a neighbor who is not who he appears to be, a clumsy boy in Paris who falls in love and stays there, a detective who finds his heart’s desire, and a demon who will not let go.

What does a mother do when one of her children goes astray? How does she save one daughter without sacrificing the others? How deep can love go, and how far can it take you? These are the questions this luminous novel asks.

At once a coming-of-age tale, a family saga, and a love story of sensual longing, The Story Sisters sifts through the miraculous and the mundane as the girls become women and their choices haunt them, change them and, finally, redeem them. It confirms Alice Hoffman’s reputation as "a writer whose keen ear for the measure struck by the beat of the human heart is unparalleled" (The Chicago Tribune).

The Story Sisters

Dark suburban dystopian crap. Unreadable. Time to revamp or retire Ms. Hoffman

Too much animal suffering

This is a beautiful, engaging story but if you, like me, are bothered by animal abuse and death, this isnt the book for you. I also felt that the animal abuse and death in the story didnt add anything to the story line and was unnecessary. I love Alice Hoffman, but not this one.
