Three
sisters have returned to their small hometown of Cold River Missouri for the
funeral of their Great-Aunt Bea. Aunt
Bea raised them after the tragic death of their mother and sister. As soon as they were able, Hadley, Pfeiffer,
and Martha left their small town never to return. They’ve all had a mixture of success and
heartache since their departure. They
discover on their return that Aunt Bea had family secrets of her own. Why did she never speak again after she
turned seventeen? Why is she so persistent
that the farm stays within the family?
The
Sisters Hemingway was a real page turner for me. I read this book in a matter of a day. I really liked all three sisters and wanted
to learn more about them, but I especially wanted to learn about Aunt Bea’s
secret. Hadley is the wife of a senator
and seems to lead the perfect life. But
is it perfect and why is she still attracted to her old boyfriend Brody? Pfeiffer was a successful editor in New York
City until she made mistake that cost her job.
Her life was her job and she is not sure where to go from here. Martha became a country music star, but after
her messy divorce and a stint in rehab, she is also not sure where to start
again.
I
liked the interaction between the sisters and how their relationship bloomed
when they were together again. I admit I
was puzzled by the girls’ names with the mix of new and traditional and really
enjoyed when it was revealed that the four sisters were named after Hemingway’s
four wives.
I was
wrapped up in reading this novel as I wanted to know how the mystery would end,
but I must admit that I did guess the ending.
It was still an enjoyable mystery even if it didn’t surprise me.
Overall,
The Sisters Hemingway is a real page turner with a great family mystery as well
as a family drama as three sisters find their way back to each other and the
importance of family.
