Actually more sad than anything, especially in Volume 1, in which the 2 sisters are forced to grow up in a family that is much too large for the parents to handle, and chaotic. The older children are physically and sexually abusing the younger ones. Their mother is far too overworked to take any sort of action. Subsequent volumes improve, so stick with this, as the sisters have to deal with consequences of the poor choices they have made. Their marriages are disasters, for very different reasons. But have they learned from their mistakes? At the end they both meet new men who look promising at first. So did their disasters. We just don't know. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieIris & Lily (1)
Iris and Lily are the lovably ingenuous youngest daughters in a family of fourteen, starving for attention as they struggle to survive in the chaotic, Catholic Capotosti household including , their hot-blooded father; Carlo. their submissiveness, overwhelmed mother Betty, and their half a dozen domineering brothers. Adding that to the inaccessabile older sisters makes the home a minefield of emotional pitfalls for the two neglected, exuberent girls. As Iris and Lily scrape their way through puberty to adolescence, outside forces begin driving a wedge between them. Growing up during the eruption of the women's movement of the '70s and desperate for love, Iris and Lily naively take refuge in marriages that push them worlds apart, altering their relationship as sisters dramatically. Told in alternating chapters in the voices of the two protagonists, sprinkled with episodes of comedy and tragedy this is the story of every woman who has memories of what it is like to be a little girl, then a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, filled with hope and expectations.

Book 1 takes us from their childhood to their early 20s - from school to marriage. It is a bit of a coming of age story, but it took nearly 600 pages to tell the story and it was way too long!
I felt like the book was just recounting events of their childhood, many of which were boring. Iris is an overachiever and Lily seems to be a sorry sort, always moping about how life has been tough for her.
I am going to try Books 2 and 3 and hope they get better. ( )
