The Sisters Sweet A Novel

All Harriet Szász has ever known is life onstage with her sister, Josie. As 'The Sisters Sweet,' they pose as conjoined twins in a vaudeville act conceived of by their ambitious parents, who were once theatrical stars. When Josie exposes the family's fraud and runs away to Hollywood to pursue her own fame, Harriet is left to learn to live out of the spotlight and her sister's shadow. As Josie's star rises and the Szászes fall on hard times, Harriet strives to keep her struggling family afloat by molding herself into the perfect daughter. She tentatively forms her first relationships outside her family and begins to imagine a life for herself beyond the role of dutiful daughter. Full of long-simmering tensions, buried secrets, and broken promises, the novel is an intimate exploration of sisterhood, identity, ambition, and betrayal as Harriet must finally decide what she owes herself.
