Description
Sisters by a River is a vivid and funny story of a childhood, written with effortless ease by Barbara Comyns. The novel follows the lives of five sisters born on the banks of a river, as they grow up and face the challenges of family tragedy and change.
The story is set against the backdrop of a decaying house, where the seasons come and go, and the sound of water swirls through the weir. As the family's fortunes decline, the sisters are dispersed among relatives, and the furniture is auctioned off. This is a bittersweet tale of a childhood that is both humorous and heartbreaking.
Originally published in 1947, this novel is a unique and captivating story that showcases Barbara Comyns' unique writing style. With its vivid characters and poignant themes, Sisters by a River is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves coming-of-age stories and family dramas.
