Publisher's summary

Candy is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion's latest supermodel. Her sister Tammy has a job producing a hit show on TV. In New York, oldest sister Sabrina is an ambitious young lawyer. And Annie is an American artist in Florence, living for her art. On one Fourth of July weekend, as they do every year, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family's annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes, and their world is utterly changed.

Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives reunite to share one New York brownstone, to support each other and their father, and to pick up the pieces while one sister struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. A bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men, and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the directions of their respective lives.

With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of sisters who are irrevocably woven into the fabric of each other's lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility and the wonder of life.

I tried

I tried, I really tried to listen to this book, but it was killing me. All the characters are perfect, but not too perfect, their clothes, food choices, drinking choices are good, but not too good. She's really trying way too hard to make the characters believable. The narrator has a nice voice and does a decent job, but honestly, for a book titled Sisters I would have chosen a female narrator, it might have helped. Well, not really, the character development is...let me put it this way, if I were ten years old I probably would have enjoyed this book. If you like good literature like Dickens, Austen and the great English authors, don't bother.

I don't usually read contemporary authors, but I thought I'd give her a try...wish I had read some reviews first.

Sisters...wonderful!!!!

As I listened to this book at times tears rolled down my checks as the story was so real and heart-warming. It really brings life home to you. This is a must for anyone looking for a real life like story with family that pulls together....loved every word!

Sisters

This audio book was wonderful, especially is you have sisters. Danielle Steel grabs you write into the book...Enjoy all its worth it.

Typical D.S. Read

Okay, we buy her books to be entertained and to listen to a story that you know will always end up okay. That is exactly what you get with this.

I would like to hear a D.S. novel narrated by a woman one day, I get tired of hearing the men's voice for her books, especially since her main characters are always women.

Great

another Good one

Loved it!

heartwarming. Simply beautiful. A bit sad, but i couldnt put this one down.

Excellent

Very interesting story , can't stop listening... Narrator reads very clear .Highly recommended to read .( listen)

Sisters

This story was by far the best read! I thought it a tragic one initially, but it drew me in since life is just like that. My emotions were up and down once the situation with the mom happened. I felt terrible for them. A great gory about how life is!

Sisters

Another good Danielle Steel book--entertaining without making you think too hard. A true guilty pleasure.

First Negative Review

This is the first negative review that I have ever written, but this book is well worthy of it. This author is losing her appeal to me. She is repetative in her descriptions and takes hours to say what should take only a few minutes. The characters are interesting but the story is BORING and PREDICTABLE. I barely made it half way through before finally giving up the fight. Don't bother with this one.

wrong person reading it

found the persons voice quite boring, would have been better in a female voice after all the book is called Sister. Story ok for a holiday read.

likeable characters

I liked this book. sometimes a little repetitive but overall a good story and characters that I could relate to as I have 2 sisters that I cherish.

Fantastic as always

A book that starts with tragedy but through the strength of the bond of sisters shining through absolutely brilliant

great book!!

I always love reading Danielle steel books but I always find the last few chapters are very short and feel rushed whereas the beginning and middle ones are extremely long.

not too bad but not the best neither

was an ok story line but there was definitely room for improvement I don't like the way they left it with their dad I think maybe there could be a sequel to this book all about their dad a kind of feel it left you not knowing what happened there whether his new wife was a gold digger whether he married her because he didn't want to be lonely what the new baby was if they sisters ever got on with their new stepmother I just really feel there could be a sequel I would read it but Danielle Steel doesn't normally write sequels and I have looked

SISTERS

would recommend to anyone I know.
bless you all.
