An addictively entertaining family saga by a National Book Award finalist.

Meet the Mikkola sisters: Ina, Evelyn, and Anastasia. Their mother is a Tunisian carpet seller, their father a mysterious Swede who left them when they were young. Ina is tall, serious, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy, magnetic, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody, chaotic, a shape-shifting presence, quick to anger.

Ina meets her future husband when she's dragged to a New Year's rave by her sisters, only to suffer the ultimate betrayal. Evelyn drifts through life before embarking on a wild career as an actress. And Anastasia runs off to Tunisia, where she falls in love with a woman who, years later, will transform her life.

Following the sisters from afar is Jonas, the son of a Swedish mother and a Tunisian father. Over the course of three decades, his life intersects with the sisters, from a chance encounter in Tunis to the scene of a fighter jet crash in Stockholm. When Evelyn disappears on a trip to New York, Jonas manages to track her down--and helps her to break the curse that has been looming over the Mikkolas for decades. In the process, a shocking revelation changes everything about who they think they are.

Narrated in six parts, each spanning a period ranging from a year to a day to a single minute, Jonas Hassen Khemiri's The Sisters is a big, vivid family saga of the highest order--an addictively entertaining tour de force.

Great plots, lovely use of English, lovable characters.
Format: Kindle
This series is a joy to read for lovers of the English language. The characters are interesting and/lovable. My family on my mother’s side lives in Florida and growing up I was certainly subjected to the mores and traditional thinking of the South, which did not help me at all in life, so the exposure to that culture raises an exasperated smile in me. For someone like me who loves to read the fact that the books are longer than normal for cozy books makes me very happy.

This would be a terrific book even without the mystery!
Format: Mass Market Paperback
The book has so much literary merit, that it could be placed among the novels. However, the excellent mystery plot also wins it a place among the mysteries. Haines creates characters who are memorable and vivid and places them in the Mississippi Delta town of Zinnia (I'm kind of reminded of the movie "In the Heat of the Night"). Sarah Booth is living in the ancestral home -- she is an orphan and an only child, the last of the Delaneys -- but is about to lose it, because she is destitute despite her social credentials. Her only company at Dahlia House - the antebellum house -- is the ghost of a slave, who appears in a variety of outfits and "encourages" Sarah to get to work reproducing. In an attempt to earn some money, Sarah takes on the task of trying to get to the truth of a scandal from 20 years ago in which first a leading citizen and then the leading citizen's wife die in some very questionable accidents. THe two young offspring are whispered to have something to do with it, and Sarah's client wants to find out if Hamilton the Fifth is as bad as rumors have it. Hamilton the Fifth is a romantic interest worthy of Evanovich -- and did I mention the book is often funny? Sarah is stirring up some dangerous memories and some deaths start to follow. I really loved this book and can hardly wait to read the next in this series and discover what happens to Sarah.

Southern Melancholy
Format: Kindle
On the plus side, "Them Bones" delivered on transporting me to the Mississippi delta (how do you stop typing Mississippi? it just begs to go on endlessly, like banana). I was there in the South and in a small country town. Brilliant on setting, which is what I like in a cosy mystery. The mystery itself took a while to settle in and then, well, I guessed the plot. That meant instead of suspense, I plodded through having my hunches confirmed. But if I'd been charmed, that wouldn't have mattered. This is not a negative review, but I'm heading towards the big problem I had with the book -- and I think this may be related to the fact that I was so busy and looking to enjoy some simply, happy downtime. "Them Bones" has humour and a southern feel, but it also struck me as melancholic. And melancholy I did not need. For others (and maybe for me at a different time) that sense of mourning and tangled history might resonate. But it was a heavy load for the plot to carry. Three stars for a solid read.

Expect to be hooked
Format: Kindle
Great cozy mystery with characters that become friends in a story that is great 'light" reading for an escape from the usual serious stories and politics on the news. Some laughs, some scares, some regular activities to fill out the characters are in good balance for the genre.
