In this instant New York Times bestseller and
“multigenerational narrative that’s nothing short of brilliant” (People), two
sisters’ lives from the 1950s to the present are explored as they struggle to
find their places—and be true to themselves—in a rapidly evolving world from #1
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner.
Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of
promise.
Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect “Dick
and Jane” house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the
tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is
the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty
confers and dreams of a traditional life.
But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls
imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold
against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and women’s lib,
Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the
counterculture and is up for anything (except settling down).
Meanwhile, Jo
becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world
instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, nor
has a life that feels authentic or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women
to finally stake a claim on happily ever after?
In “her most sprawling and intensely personal novel to date”
(Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer Weiner tells a “simply unputdownable” (Good
Housekeeping) story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and
different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the
world?
