Collect You Must Be Sisters Authored By Deborah Moggach Available In EPub

this was exactly the book I needed after a couple of mostly frustrating and unremarkable reads, I loved the sisters especially Claire who is so careful and sensible and kind, I loved how much their parents clearly loved them, I really enjoyed Geoff and his brand of masculinity and care.
I loved the story, too, Perhaps a tiny bit predictable at times, and a bit slight in magnitude, it still felt so deep.
Like a little slice of a friend's life, It made me miss I don't even know what, My sister What it felt like being a teenager What first steps into freedom felt like My best friend from elementary school A life I hadn't actually lived

Transition from POV to POV was a bit hard to follow and jarring at first but, as we stayed a bit longer in each POV, it was a lot easier to follow, the issue disappeared after a couple of chapters.
Deborah Moggach is up there with Jane Smiley and Anne Tyler in my personal pantheon of female writers.
This was one of her very early books maybe her debut but it already has her trademark dry wit and ability to nail a situation in a sentence.
Vintage stuff It's a very difficult task to put sisters' relationships into words, A heartwarming story, fairly written, painting the soulful love of siblings and how this bond deepens with growing up.
A first novel that feels like a first novel, not because it sounds desperate or forced, but because of the effort that has been put into every sentence, every image, to get it perfect.
I loved the way the puddings at University 'quivered with custard', Brilliant. I read it again some years after I first read it, and discovered there's a decent story in there amongst it too.
I can't even explain how boring it is, It is not a romance, It is about two sisters, one of them has no character, one of them has no life, Couldn't get past page. And I did something I've never done before, I tried reading different pages of the book, Nothing interesting or seriously, anything happens in the book, Do not read. I repeat. Do not read. Two very different sisters well three, but one doesn't get much of a look in take paths through the world which are not at all the ones their parents expect.
I couldn't really believe the relationships upon which the older two chose to embark, although their reasons were sympathetically described and fairly tragicallycredible.
The novel was a little tale of a slice of growing up: that bit where siblings turn into people in their own right, their lives suddenly become more of a mystery and their reactions can no longer be predicted.
So some big ideas explored but still, somehow, slight, From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Claire a model daughter, an imaginative teacher, as clear and legible as her handwriting.


Laura a student, a beauty, as vital and rebellious as her parents could ever have feared for.


As children they had shared everything so much so that later, neither sister could quite remember to which one

of them some longdistant adventure had happened.
Far from the leafy respectability of Harrow where they grew up, each is now going her distinctly separate way in this warm, funny and poignant comingofage novel.
It was OK nothing special
As this author is a firm favourite of mine, recently I was delighted to come across herdebut novel in a charity shop and to discover that all the signs were already there to show what a consistently good novelist she would become.
. . in fact, she has got better and better with each book!
I found this story at times very funny, sometimes very poignantly sad but always, in the author's perceptive way, acutely observed.
She captured so evocatively the era in which it was set and yet, because the "coming of age" and family themes she explored remain so recognisable, this in no way "dated"the story.
I loved it!
This was set and written in the lates and was interesting to read a coming of age account that had the authenticity of the time in which it was set.
So many similar novels that I have read recently are written with the hindsight of the modern world.
