How terrible to have to be polite to one's sister!,
By
This review is from: You Must Be Sisters (Paperback)
Deborah Moggach nearly always produces a strong, plot driven story as well as depth of character, so I always enjoy reading her work. Here the focus is on two sisters - one, Claire, a fledgling teacher, the other, Laura, going to university for the first time.Laura has a mind of her own and feels she has to plough her own furrow, but she ends up in quite a lot of trouble because she is determined to defy conventions. Claire is the sensible one and gets what she feels she deserves - love and marriage in the suburbs. In a sense this is about whether one fits easily into the snaky pathways one is given to traverse, or whether one rebels against them. The message is delivered loud and clear that it's best to tread the well-beaten paths of the herd than to take the road less travelled. It's not something everyone could subscribe to, this follow the herd mentality, and I feel the rebellious Laura is given the short end of the stick - though as the novel ends there are intimations that Laura is only temporarily lost to the fallacy of good intentions. Nice and neat, this one, with fewer of the rough edges and darker themes that Moggach has produced in the past. This is a minor moral tale that leaves a slight feeling of dissatisfaction. I expect more depth, more equanimity, more complexity, from this very good writer.

An enjoyably easy read & insight into sistersrelationships,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Must be Sisters (Paperback)
I read this as afirst effort into getting back into taking time out to read and relax and as such it was enjoyable in a superficial sort of way. The characters were caricatures rather than real & muddled. It was easy to predict their next move.I did like Mac & his attitude to life, & the fathers unexpected attitude to him. There!!! The characters are not entirely predictable. A light read.
