Rise and Shine (Anna Quindlen)

I've read everything (both fiction and non-fiction) that Anna Quindlen has written and I always enjoy her brand of storytelling. She delves deeply into her characters and their emotional lives. This book was an interesting look at a relationship between sisters. Bridget, a social worker with a NYPD detective boyfriend and Meghan, a high-powered morning TV personality (I pictured Katie Couric) with a husband and a son. The story is told by Bridget who experiences the career and life struggles of her sister in a way that is both close and distant. As someone who doesn't have a sister, this story drew me right in. The complexity of their connection. The sense that each woman understands herself largely with reference to the other. The hyper-closeness between them contrasted with their striking distance.
