One of the reasons why I wanted to read this book was because it said sisters in the title Since I have two sisters who means a lot to me I have always loved reading about sisters I must say that once I started reading I couldnt put the book down Everytime I finished a chapter I wanted to read one more and it went on until I finished The story has five main characters Brian Father Sara Mother Jesse son Kate daughter with cancer Anna daughter who is the donor for Kate There are two other characters Campbell lawyer of Anna and Julia who is appointed as ad litem for Anna who are equally important I must say In the beginning I was a bit upset with Anna for wanting to sue her parents but as I read on I was able to empathize with her I kept wondering what I would have done if I was in Saras place Would I just give up and let go of Kate or would I keep fighting as she did Brian is a fatherwho may not come across as a strong person in the beginning But I felt he was like a pillar which kept the family together in the most difficult of times Jesses condition was and quite predictable I must say The intriguing thing was there was no chapter narrating Kates perspective until the end I wonder why Maybe the author wanted us to think on our own and understand what she was going through I loved the way the love story unfolded between Julia and Campbell Campbell reminded me how foolish and scared men can be sometimes esp of commitment D Julia reminded me of a hindi movie heroine dont know why Her character gave us an outsiders view about the ongoings I was absolutely shocked in a good way by the climax as I never expected it I never thought that it would end that way I savoured every bit of the book The best part about the book was it wasnt narrated by just one each character narrates the story from hisher point of view and that narration was titled with their name This helps the reader in the story better and from all aspects The first chapter was titled Anna and it was her narration I thought are we gonna read only Annas point of view When I moved on to the chapters I realized that this was not the case We would be listening to every characters point of view except for Kates until the end This is the first time I have come across such form of writing and I was really pleased and impressed to see that There are parts which tugs your heart and completely immerses you in the book You feel as if you are one of the family members watching them quitely from a corner There were times when tears started rolling and you feel like going and hugging one of them OK dont think that this book is all weepy and all about crying Nope it has goodKwota humoru zbyt aby suma go aż gripping wrenching serce z artykułem że wszystkim należy przeczytać am upewnić się że użytkownik będzie podoba 45 łącza listopada 2009 09
