Editorial Reviews

Review
"Terri Apter's fascinating study of sisters lays bare particular qualities in the sister relationship which are deftly summed up in the book's subtitle..." The Times Literary Supplement "...she is lucid, funny and illuminating on a subject that has been kept in the dark for much too long." The Sunday Times "Deftly combining the latest psychological thinking with real-life case studies, she captures both the love and the rivalry that many sisters share, as well as revealing the sister relationship to be far more complex than we might think." Psychologies"

a must for sisters5
I love my two sisters but we have had many ups and downs. Terri Apter's book has helped me understand why. I can now forgive them, forgive myself, and enjoy what we have.
