Read moreĪ cold war spy thriller that takes place in the early 60s, The Sisters begins somewhat poorly, as the description of the title characters, a highly-placed, CIA odd couple, that makes up the first chapter is distractingly mannered in the telling. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility-and the wonder-of life. With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of sisters who are irrevocably woven into the fabric of one another’s lives. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives. and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. A bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men. Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives come together to share one New York brownstone, to support each other, and to pick up the pieces while one of them struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.

One Fourth of July weekend, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family’s annual gathering. In New York, oldest sister Sabrina, thirty-four, is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie, at twenty-six, is an American in Florence, living for her art. Her sister Tammy, twenty-nine, has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV.
