“Sisters always have special relationships, but identical twin sisters are a world unto themselves,especially if they have ESP. 'Sisterland' introduces us to Violet and Kate as the trajectory of their lives goes from mad closeness, to fragile separation as they attend different colleges, then, finally back to their native St. Louis. Their clairvoyance has colored their lives, and suddenly Vi is on national news to warn of an earthquake that will strike within a week, wrecking havoc on everyone. Kate, meanwhile, has tried to ignore her visions, marrying and raising two children in suburban St. Louis. Sittenfield is a funny and sagacious chronicler of the world we live in now, and the ways-- sometimes quirky, sometimes conventional-- we try to order our world for security, loyalty, and love. I won't easily leave the enchanting world of Sisterland”
