Description
Through interviews and questionnaires with more than 150 women, the author explores the depth and breadth of sisterhood, sibling rivalry, devotion, ambivalence, birth order, and patterns of family roles.
First Sentence
I have been told by friends who happen to overhear my side of the weekly phone conversations between my sister and me that ours is a private language, barely discernible even to those who know me best, a thick brew of intensity and high hilarity, baby talk and worldly counsel, sophisticated allusions, salty Yiddish and a patois of strange inflections and phraseology almost primitive in its litany.
