Gooseberry Sisters

Siri Østli

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. DAGBLADET
