This book was one of the better ones I've read. It really shows the relationship between sisters. I have to say my favorite part of this book was the part on sisters who surrogate for one another. That was something I've never read about before. I say this book is one you should share with your sister if you have one.

This book is the greatest book on sibling relationships that i have ever read. Not only was the cover jacket absolutely gorgeous, but Barash writes compelling and truthful stories of sisters. I absolutely loved it and would recommend this book to anyone who has a sister or even a best friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a sister...you must read this book, August 29, 2001

This review is from: Sisters: Devoted or Divided (Hardcover)

For anyone who has a sister, or knows sisters, this book offers every possible scenario. If your mother or your best friend is a sister, you will better understand her sister bond once you've read Susan Shapiro Barash's interviews with sisters and the voices of experts in the field of family relationships. The sisters in SISTERS : DEVOTED OR DIVIDED are all ages and walks of life, and ethnically diverse. Yet their feelings about their sisters, whether they are jealous or competitive, or supportive or exclusive, are similar. Barash finds some amazing tales, including sisters who steal their sisters' husband or boyfriend, to sisters who carry their infertile sister's baby. What an important book for me, having struggled with my own sister at times.
