I really enjoyed this book that follows two young sisters and how their lives diverge over the course of decades. The book has a sense of humor while still having sympathy for the characters. Something about following the sisters from youth to old age was quite moving to me.
For a book from the very early 1900s, I think it holds up pretty well. It’s very readable and was probably quite progressive for its time.
