This review is from: Accidental Bond (Paperback)
This book was written by a journalist who interviewed all the siblings of several families. The descriptions of the people that she met were well-drawn. The author also outlined some of the concepts that have been put forth by psychologists studying sibling relationships and character development. These were interesting, and went beyond the most usual system of birth order characterization.My intent in reading this book was to gain some insight on some pernicious troubles that persevere in my relationships with my own siblings. This book didn't seem very helpful in that light. A few of the relationships had some undercurrents, or outright problems, but there wasn't a lot of narrative about solving the problems. The problematic relationships seemed to be glossed over by the subjects themselves, so that there wasn't even any material that gave me a chance to see problems similar to my own from the other perspective.

interesting perspective on siblings,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Accidental Bond: The Power of Sibling Relationships (Hardcover)
This book gave me much to think about how I relate to my
adult sisters. The stories of the siblings told by the
siblings are well-written by Susan Scarf Merrell. I look
forward to her next book.
