lord help the mister who comes between me and my sisters

 

Mon 10/31

I am reading The Dutch House by Ann Patchett.  A review of the book noted the relationship between the two main characters, a brother and sister, was unrealistic because there was never ever even a shred of animosity between them. It's possible. There has never been a minute of malice between me and my four sisters.  Unfortunately, I cannot claim the same about my brother and me. 

As Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitane says in The Lion in Winter Well, what family doesn’t have its ups and downs?
