My Sister's Keeper: Sisters in Fiction
... compiled by Lukie Marriott
These books cover the gamut of the bonds and rivalries between sisters: humor and mystery, aging parents, younger sisters who are children, suicide, kidnapping, and murder, laughter, and love. There are the similarities and differences, the carrying and sometimes sharing of family secrets, and an assortment of worlds from the swamps of Louisiana to the Eastern seaboard to Europe, Zimbabwe, and The Congo. All of these titles are located in the Adult Fiction section of the Library unless otherwise noted.
