  <description><![CDATA[ <em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is an evocative, illustrated book by the best-selling author of <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, Audrey Niffenegger. Reminiscent of the gothic style of Edward Gorey, Niffenegger's visually stunning narrative affirms her genius as a storyteller. These rich pages present the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. Escalating to a dizzying climax, the romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair. Haunting illustrations and lyrical prose depict a timeless tale of love, revenge, and ultimately, transcendence. <em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is a unique and lavish tour de force, which showcases Audrey Niffenegger's incredible talent as an artist and a writer.  ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[  <em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is an evocative, illustrated book by the best-selling author of <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, Audrey Niffenegger. Reminiscent of the gothic style of Edward Gorey, Niffenegger's visually stunning narrative affirms her genius as a storyteller. These rich pages present the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. Escalating to a dizzying climax, the romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair. Haunting illustrations and lyrical prose depict a timeless tale of love, revenge, and ultimately, transcendence. <br/><br/><em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is a unique and lavish tour de force, which showcases Audrey Niffenegger's incredible talent as an artist and a writer.   ]]>

    <![CDATA[  <em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is an evocative, illustrated book by the best-selling author of <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, Audrey Niffenegger. Reminiscent of the gothic style of Edward Gorey, Niffenegger's visually stunning narrative affirms her genius as a storyteller. These rich pages present the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. Escalating to a dizzying climax, the romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair. Haunting illustrations and lyrical prose depict a timeless tale of love, revenge, and ultimately, transcendence. <br/><br/><em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is a unique and lavish tour de force, which showcases Audrey Niffenegger's incredible talent as an artist and a writer.   ]]>

    <![CDATA[  <em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is an evocative, illustrated book by the best-selling author of <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, Audrey Niffenegger. Reminiscent of the gothic style of Edward Gorey, Niffenegger's visually stunning narrative affirms her genius as a storyteller. These rich pages present the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister is driven mad with jealousy due to the passionate love affair of another. Escalating to a dizzying climax, the romance of the two lovers ends in sabotage, shame, and despair. Haunting illustrations and lyrical prose depict a timeless tale of love, revenge, and ultimately, transcendence. <br/><br/><em>The Three Incestuous Sisters</em> is a unique and lavish tour de force, which showcases Audrey Niffenegger's incredible talent as an artist and a writer.   ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book today at the library; I didn't think it was worth it to check it out since it could be read in a matter of minutes. It was pretty good, and I liked the illustrations, but the book is not actually the story. When I sat down and began looking at the book, the cutest old man asked me w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44308996">more...</a>]]></body>
