Sisters is a horror story. The closeness and codependency of July and September reminded me of the obsessive relationship between the three sisters in Sophie Mackintosh’s The Water Cure from last year. Neither of them are even fit to tie Daisy Johnson's shoelaces.The blurb on the proof of this book compares it to Steven King and Shirley Jackson. Daisy Johnson—short story writer, novelist, and the youngest author to be shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize—chooses the five books that most inspired her novel Everything Under and shares some of her writing rituals and philosophy. But not for much longer…Two sisters, born ten-months-apart and with one favouring the mother and the other the father in looks. Outside, the sisters push the boundaries of behaviour - until a series of shocking encounters test the limits of their shared experience and forces shocking revelations about the girls past and future. August 25th 2020 It may even be better (for my money) than Johnson’s I read this in one evening, prompted by the rapturous reviews of two of my colleagues, and found it lived up fully to their praise. In every other way they are twins, with September, the bossy elder, demanding the younger July share Birthdays, clothes, a bed, a language, and their every thought. Andrew Gant—author of a new book on Handel's most famous composition—selects the five best texts for gaining an understanding of Handel's life and work, and explains why opera divas were the premiership footballers of the Baroque period.We ask experts to recommend the five best books in their subject and explain their selection in an interview.This site has an archive of more than one thousand interviews, or five thousand book recommendations. Do you have any rituals, superstitions, or habits when it comes to writing? We’d love your help. It’s one of those books where if you track the plot not much technically happens but within the psychology and attachment of the two sisters a whole world is growing and thriving. Their mother retreats from them, "needs time", and rises from her bed only at night to cook for the girls she can't bring herself to face. The girls are so entwined it’s hard to know where one starts and the other ends. Once writing starts I like to write fast, plough out the first draft with the thought always that most of it will end up in the bin. I’ll look forward to reading your review ❤️I read this mostly on the strength of Johnson’s debut novel and did not really know what to expect from it. This one concerns a pair of sisters, September and July, born 10 months apart, but essentially behave as twins. I think then, as I have so many times, she is the person I have always wanted to be. There are, of course, other people in this take but in each others lives these people are mere distractions. Please pick a line at random from page 99 of your book, in tribute to Ford Maddox Ford, and reproduce it for us here:I have never read any Ford Maddox Ford but perhaps he would have liked ‘Again time passed without her noticing.’This is the first book I remember reading that felt like a punch, a shocked wonder. SeptemberA difficult book for me to rate simply because the style of prose used (best described as lyrical) is not to my liking, and I can see that many reviewers loved it. It may even be better (for my money) than Johnson’s Yet another brilliant novel by Daisy Johnson! Here, in Sisters, it is a house that acts as a kind of focal point, at least location-wise.In Daisy Johnson’s Booker-listed debut novel (impressive start! We've got you covered with the buzziest new releases of the day. September is the controlling sister always seeking attention and July often feels inadequate in her shadow.
