This anthology of Australia's leading women writers - Elizabeth Jolley, Dorothy Hewett, Gillian Mears, Beth Yahp, Helen Garner and Drusilla Modjeska - explores the vexed subject of sisters in this anthology. Each of the writers were asked to contribute a piece in any form - fiction, non-fiction or a mixture - to an anthology about sisters.
All of the writers have explored the unique relationship that sisters share in a different way so that, although linked by a common theme, the stories vary widely in setting, mood and approach.
Drusilla Modjeska is the author of Exiles at Home and Poppy, which won the NBC's Banjo Award for Non-Fiction. She is editor of The Poems of Lesbia Harford, Nellie Melba, Ginger Meggs & Friends and Inner Cities.
