Rarely has the experience of being a sister been so poignantly and memorably captured as in Lori Lansen's triumphant novel.The Girls celebrate life's fundamental joys and trials as it presents Rose and Ruby,sisters destined to live inseparably but blessed with distinct sensibilities that enrich and complicate their shared experiences-of growing up,of finding their way in the world,of saying goodbye."The Girls skillfull takle a trick subject with both laught-out-humor and grace"
"This is not a book about the grotesue but a book about love,about being bound to someone else and accepting the situation gracefully,even gratefully."
