gmh711 's review for:
The Sunshine Sisters
by Jane Green
I received an ARC and offer this fair review in exchange.
Family relationships are complicated. Marriages are challenging. This is a story of family & relationships. Broken & healing.
The Sunshine sisters are three. Oldest child, middle child, and youngest. They grew up with a self-absorbed actress mother. Each trying to find their way in the world while desperately wanting the absent love of their mother. Each daughter reacted differently to their mother's neglect in childhood. But each left home as quickly as she could, drifting apart from their mother and each other. The reader knows from page one that the mother will soon die. She brings her daughters home together hoping to see her them reunited and forming a lasting relationship before she dies. For the daughters it becomes a journey of long overdue self-discovery and that life is whatever you choose to make it.
Death bed conversations are a bit trite for me. It would be nice if dying could be as perfect a scene as that. But as with Green's other books, there's a life lesson to be learned here even if the story is a bit overdone.
