#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

No one knows you like your sister. She can make you laugh or break your heart with a single word. And no one writes novels like Kristin Hannah, an author who vividly explores the intricate bonds of family and, as Tami Hoag said “touches the deepest, most tender corners of our heart.” Now, in her rich, captivating new book, she creates an indelible portrait of two women, once lost to each other, about to come together in a time of exquisite joy and almost unbearable sadness. Sisters by blood, strangers by choice, each stands at a crossroads, ready to confront the betrayals of the past....

BETWEEN SISTERS

Meghann Dontess is a woman haunted by heartbreak. Twenty-five years ago she was forced to make a terrible choice, one that cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Now, Meghann is a hotshot divorce attorney who doesn’t believe in intimacy - until she meets the one man who can change her mind.

Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepares to face her harsh, judgmental older sister and their self-absorbed mother. It is the first time they have been together in more than two decades. Over the course of a hot Pacific Northwest summer, these three women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family.

Tender, funny, bittersweet, and wonderfully moving, Between Sisters celebrates the joys and heartaches that can only be shared by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love and the healing power of new beginnings - all beautifully told by acclaimed author Kristin Hannah.

Not my favorite Kristin Hannah

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I have been enjoying many of Kristin Hannah's books on audible. I think the major problem with this one was the narrator. I was not a fan of the various voices used to tell the story.

If you’ve listened to books by Kristin Hannah before, how does this one compare?

I did not find the plot as interesting.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Laural Merlington?

Unfortunately, no.

Difficult to get through

Did not like the narrator especially the child's voice. Difficult to get through. Story was ok. It seemed predictable. Almost didnt finish.

Predictable Plot with annoying narration

I love Kristen Hannah’s books but this one was a bit disappointing. I had a hard time getting into it and it could have been getting used to the narration. The child’s voice was so annoying as were the poor southern accents. (Although it fit the Mother’s character) The male voices sounded like “Eeyore”. The story was sweet and held my interest even though it was quite predictable.

Narration is terrible and the book is not up to expectations

I was excited to listen to another K. Hannah book after the previous couple. This is not of that caliber. Shallow and far from original. The narration is terrible. All the characters sound unintelligent and many have southern accents even though they live is Washington state. Poor Alison is just irritating.

Enjoyed this one

It’s a romance and it’s about sisters and love and forgiveness. As a resident of Seattle it was nice to see her nail the details of the area and hear correct pronunciations. That’s rare. The friendship renewed between sisters was touching. I liked that there were multiple layers and stories amidst the main characters. I recommend this one.

Must Read

This book has everything... It made me laugh; cry; hope and pray. I couldn't put this book down. A sweet story about to sisters finding their way back to each other.

Great Read

It was an excellent story with realistic characters. Really enjoyed this book and fast pace of story.

Have a tissue

I had a sister with.a relationship like these. It hit close to my heart. I had a cry. What a great story.

A sweet reminder that family is everything!

I thought the narrator did a wonderful job. I enjoyed this book. It really did remind me that family is very important and you shouldn't let any time pass by where you are not speaking to each other.

One of her best

Kristin Hannah’s books never disappoint. Rich characters and real stories that will touch your heart.
