64 posts | 64 read | 75 to read
From a Booker Prize finalist and international literary star: a blazing portrait of one darkly riveting sibling relationship, from the inside out. "One of her generation's most intriguing authors" (Entertainment Weekly), Daisy Johnson is the youngest writer to have been short-listed for the Man Booker Prize. Now she returns with Sisters, a haunting story about two sisters caught in a powerful emotional web and wrestling to understand where one ends and the other begins. Born just ten months apart, July and September are thick as thieves, never needing anyone but each other. Now, following a case of school bullying, the teens have moved away with their single mother to a long-abandoned family home near the shore. In their new, isolated life, July finds that the deep bond she has always shared with September is shifting in ways she cannot entirely understand. A creeping sense of dread and unease descends inside the house. Meanwhile, outside, the sisters push boundaries of behavior--until a series of shocking encounters tests the limits of their shared experience, and forces shocking revelations about the girls' past and future. Written with radically inventive language and imagery by an author whose work has been described as "entrancing" (The New Yorker), "a force of nature" (The New York Times Book Review), and "weird and wild and wonderfully unsettling" (Celeste Ng), Sisters is a one-two punch of wild fury and heartache--a taut, powerful, and deeply moving account of sibling love and what happens when two sisters must face each other's darkest impulses.

I am not sure how I feel about this book. The accolades are numerous, the writing is fabulous but I felt sort of distanced from the story. It‘s about two teenaged sisters, July and September, who have left their home in Oxford to live in a crumbling cottage by the sea after some sort of “incident”. It‘s been called everything from a “gothic mystery” to a “highly disturbing shocker”. Despite those descriptors, it wasn‘t a page turner.

This book was lowkey giving We Have Always Lived in the Castle in the beginning with this sister dynamic. The first half honestly didn‘t interest me super hard even tho the ambiguity was cool. The plot twist was AMAZING! It redeemed the whole book tbh. The ending is super ambiguous too (which lowkey I don‘t like bc like….tell me what to think). Super interesting to read and reflect on your relationship with your sister

This was a really riveting story which had me very disorientated never really being sure of time place or the reliability of the narrator July , one of a pair of sisters, the other September having been born 10 months before her. Set in a very run down run down coastal Yorkshire Holiday cottage and with a depressed mother the siblings tale emerges. I can't say any more as it is haunting and unsettling and definitely a book fora cold October night

This book is hard to describe without saying too much. But a family moves after something has happened and it is hinted at throughout the novel. Sister June and September has anything but a healthy sisterly relationship.

An angry book, full of grief and love — but love resentful and controlling and twisted. The words tumble against each other and make an atmosphere of quiet, shifting ghostliness where nothing is quite real, maybe not even the reader. The twist was relatively obvious, but somehow no less wrenching for it. I‘m honestly not sure if I liked the book or not. Maybe that‘s the real mystery…

"Something happened we cannot remember." Eerie, absorbing, and in the vein of Shirley Jackson, the story is told in fragmented glimpses of July's anxious narration along with some narrative from her mother Sheela & The Settle House itself. Even seeing the final twist coming didn't undermine its power. (Note: the Shirley Jackson volume just happened to be my other library book. I had no idea I'd find Sisters to be akin when I took the picture.)

andrew61 Great photo and comparison to Shirley Jackson, I have just put this down and it reminded me a lot of the unsettling feel of we have always lived in the castle. 3y

DJ can certainly write a good monster, and a claustrophobic familial relationship. July and September put me in mind of the twins from "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. Sisters is a leaner, brisker book, though, with an off-kilter narrative voice with no interest in lulling the reader. I felt tense each time DJ dropped hints about what happened on "that day" but found myself wishing that the twist, when it came, had been more ambiguous.

Great story. Easier to read/understand than her previous novel. Challenging things happen, and an interesting story about grief. I didn‘t realize the sister was dead until well into the novel, which speaks to how well written it is. Story about relationships between mothers and daughters as well

Atmospheric, dark, even felt damp somehow. I listened to the #audiobook along with the print copy and it was great narration. The dual perspectives of a mother and one of her daughters, July, assisted in the (at times) murky narrative for me. It‘s a bit of a puzzle to unwind what‘s going on in this family of three women, especially the titular “Sisters”.

readordierachel This sounds good. I really liked her previous book, Everything Under. 4y

After something terrible happens sisters September and July retreat to a house in the country with their mother. The girls are minimally supervised and the house is odd. Is it haunted? What happened to make them flee? I guessed the end about halfway through this one and still very much enjoyed the ride.

Johnson does a beautiful job establishing a dreadful, sickening, feverish atmosphere. We don‘t know exactly what has happened to the sisters or their mother to make them flee to the run-down house on the coast, but we know the event has driven the mom into a deep depression, leaving the teenage sisters to cope with their emotions alone. Not exactly light, cheery Christmas reading, but absorbing for those of us who like the dark.

A dark , moody read for a dark, gloomy day.Sisters September & July are 10 months apart, but unnaturally close.Without a father & a distant mother, they move to a house with a dark past already in the family.The writing is lush & interesting, I did have a hunch about the twist.I really enjoyed being submerged in the weirdness .

Short novel about a dysfunctional family and, maybe, a haunting. Sisters July and September and their mother have moved in a hurry to a house on the coast because “something happened” at school. We eventually find out what as well as the disturbing relationships within the family. The twist at the end took me a bit by surprise and it is unsettling. Good stuff. https://cannonballread.com/2020/11/sisters-a-novel-elcicco/

A magnetic story of two sisters and the mother that orbits them.

September and July were born less than a year apart and have a toxic, intertwined relationship. Although they are teens in the story, this is no YA novel. Their mother is deep into a depression when they move from Oxford to the Settle House where September was born, and September is acting strangely.

The book didn‘t get exciting to me until 50 pages in but then I was riveted!

A hypnotic dream of a book! About sisters, September and July, who are bonded so tightly they are like one person. Following an ominous incident their depressed mother moves them to a dilapidated beach house. Their bond becames stronger than ever! September is dominating with a mean streak. While July is submissive and quiet, always living in her sisters shadow. But things start to shift within July. A perfectly haunting read for the season!

I didn't realize this book would be so moody and thrilleresque based on previous experience with this author. There are a lot of questions about what has happened, why the family has relocated to this moldy home, but it's clearly something with sisters September and July. The entire novel is a bit circular in storytelling so some pieces are left out and some are repeated. The setting and emotions evoked are good for a #spooktober read!

Cathythoughts I bailed on this one. I found the writing promising at the start .... and then vacant after awhile ... empty ! Sounds a bit harsh of me , but 🤷🏼‍♀️. I wonder if Everything Under is good ?!!! 4y
ReadingEnvy @Cathythoughts for my tastes, both novels start out with an interesting idea but peter out narratively... Everything Under is more linear but I didn't care for it 4y

This was a short book so I decided to finish it. I found July to be going through a severe stage of grief/denial and for how the author implies this book is dark and sinister it was actually disappointing in that area. It could have gone deeper. And the ending was a bit rushed, jumping through time and with mixed messages so you‘re left wondering is it worth it to be given one ending and then that is stolen from you. Too much and not enough.

Cathythoughts I‘m half way through this one! Great review 4y

It‘s not like the story was completely original, but the prose and slow unraveling of events leaves you captivated. I was hoping for a WOW moment but it never came. I‘m glad I chose audio, as it totally added to the creepy atmosphere. Three ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The almost twin sisters July and September live with their mother in a broken down house. The tragedy that caused their move is revealed in fragmentary glimpses.
The dark relationship between the sisters and their depressed, almost absent mother, create a tension that keeps building up in this powerful, quiet, gothic novel. I couldn‘t stop reading, held my breath and finished it with a heavy heart. Wow.

Whoah. This book was intense. Daisy Johnson, once again, has written an amazing book in which the heart has center stage and reality is malleable.
