Thanks for the heads-up about Eleanor Brown's
The Weird Sisters. First novels are often exceptional reads: the author struggling to find her/his voice and often taking risks that later become "style". I put a hold on it at my local library ... number 46 on a list of 3 copies. *sigh*
New York Times has a review here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/17/books/17book.html and the author has her own website with blogs and such.
(
Can't wait? It's available at Kobo and Kindle in Canada; and on Nook in the US.)
