Sisters Marilyn and Marlene are both named after Hollywood stars. But that is where the similarity ends.
Marlene is the one with her life in perfect control – anything from fashion and her house to her life partner and ovulation. Still it is the enchanting 'My' who finds it easier to make friends – and have children.
My's seemingly perfect life has just imploded. Her husband slept with the nanny, and now she’s left both him and her home. She's also lost her self-confidence. With her daughter Amanda, My has moved back in with her mother. There, My has to deal with journalists and gossipers, the helpless pony-tail-man who's her mother latest project, and the child protection services. But she also learns the importance of having a sister, and how to stand up straight when everything around her falls to pieces.
Charming and well-written!
This is a charming book, easy to read, funny and well-written. It has a colourful character gallery and just the right amount of complications. I am again struck by how brilliantly Siri Østli masters this genre.
