My Book Review of The Bookstore Sisters: A Short Story

handmaidenThe Bookstore Sisters by Alice Hoffman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Endearing Story About Grief & Love

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began this book. I was thinking about my sister, my mom, and our love for books. It was my nostalgia that made me select it, but what an endearing story and fitting to my emotions!

I loved the journey these sisters took. It was more powerful with the addition of Johnny and Violet. Their loss, grief, and the love that sustained them were realistic, making the story poignant.

The book was a quick read, but it packed an emotional punch. I easily turned off my editor’s brain to be lost in the marsh and the journey of the sisters. It connected with me, which I think will happen for other readers, too.
