You will fall in love with Henry! He is a young adult special needs boy who has been taunted through the years as a retard by his peers, but who has an innocent loving heart. He fiercely loves his protective sisters, Jesus, and mistreated dogs who flourish under his loving care, and frequently tells strangers that Jesus loves them.

Get through the first 50-60 pages of bickering between the sisters (my 100 page rule worked out here) and you will finish it with many chuckles, and through tear-fill...more

Henry's Sisters is a book I personally loved - Cathy Lamb writes with a quick whit and a way that made me feel I was in the room with these quirky characters. I highly recommend this read - it was touching and funny.

Isabelle Bommarito is a mess.

She continuously picks up men... connects for a night and then disposes of them quickly. As in now... as in LEAVE.

This was the second Cathy Lamb book I have read and so far she's 2 for 2 with me. I love her books!
Lamb has a brilliant way of developing a character to the point that you feel like you are right there with them, experiencing what they are. She does the perfect amount of character development. I also love that Lamb tackles heavy and weighty topics but inserts refreshing humor into them so her characters can work through what is bogging them down.
Henry's Sisters is about the Bommarito family. T...more

She's the one who recommended the other book by this author. She said I would like this one. No way. I cannot relate to the characters and I find the plot unbelievable.

The overall premise of the story is good - three sisters "come home" during their adult years to care for their adult mentally-disabled brothers. However, the character development is very juvenile. Absolutely every character has some overly exaggerated 'flaw', but none of the characters are really developed at all. It is like the author just had some random thoughts of scenes and characters that she wanted to write, so decided to piece them all together into a book.

In my not-so-humble opinion, Cathy Lamb may well be one of the best, most creative fiction writers in the last 10 or more years. Her stories are brutal and honest; and they're heartbreaking at the same time as they are hilarious. She pulls at your heartstrings, while simultaneously tickling your funny bone. Simply stated, her books are like your favorite dessert. You can't wait to dive in and eat every last bite of it, at the same time that you want to savor it slowly to enjoy every last morsel....more

When I first started "Henry's Sisters" I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The characters all seemed so dysfunctional, and I didn't want to read a dark twisty novel. But the more I read, the more I liked it, and by the end of the book I was sobbing and thinking about why I had been so touched.

That's not to say I cried the whole time. The characters are hilarious, actually quite over-the-top strange. From the dementia-plagued Grandma who thinks she's Amelia Earhart to the religion-obsessed niec...more

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Some parts, I just couldn't help reading aloud, they were so funny. Other parts were so sad, my heart hurt. Fast paced, this book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Anyone who has unusual family members creating dysfunction/chaos around them will very likely enjoy this. I think it would be a good book club discussion too.

Profanity, violence against women and promiscuity although it felt story appropriate and not gratuitious.

Cathy Lamb delivers the entire range of emotions in all of her books -- happiness, humor, sympathy, sadness, anger, bitterness -- but does it in a way that is inviting and fun. Her books are full of quirky but totally endearing characters with problems but many redeeming qualities. This book is no exception. It centers on the Bommarito family and, in particular, on the three Bommarito sisters -- Isabelle, Cecelia and Janie. All three are troubled in their own way but fiercely loyal to family and...more

I really thought I was going to like this book based on the synopsis that I read. I usually love reading about eccentric or quirky characters. However, just about every character in this book was a raving lunatic, and as a group they experienced every social ill and traumatic experience known to man. It was just too much and way over the top. This was the first book that I've read by Cathy Lamb, and I'm not sure I'll read another.

It doesn't deconstruct the trope, but its approach felt refreshingly different and reminded me why I sometimes enjoy this trope (in small, dark doses).

For periods of time, I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, first of all, and charming, in a dark, wry sort of way. I really felt for this family, and I thought the characters and their relationships were complicated and intriguing. I particularly adored Janie, the prim and pink-loving crime writer. The portrayal of mental illness was surprisingly multifaceted. The world they live in was realistically multicultural (small towns: not just for middle-class white people!).

But there are things a reader should know before embarking on this book.

01. It's crude. The characters are over the top at times which some readers might find annoying, but I found it quite delightful in a vicarious "Wow, I wish I could have the guts to tell my sister's ex just how much I hate him, too" sort of way.

02. The characters are broken. All of them. Broken. Kindness and community are extended among all these broken survivors, but there are no easy answers of quick fixes for the emotional wounds these characters have suffered and have inflicted on one another. If you'll get worn out by a book where the majority of characters are barely-functional or aren't traditionally-functional, then this isn't likely won't be your cup of tea.

03. It's sad. Not relentlessly, but still overwhelmingly. And just when bubbly happiness seems sustainable, a deux ex machina in the form of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic cancer, just the term alone made me want to close the book and cry) is dropped.

04. This book also requires a serious content warning: a brutal attempted rape (and attempted murder) is described in detail. That was a really tough scene to read, and despite the book's wryly dark tone, I hadn't expected it, and I assume some readers might find it triggering.

There were a couple other reasons why I didn't love this book, despite how much I enjoyed it. For one, Lamb's reliance on "whined" and "whimpered" as dialogue verbs grated on my nerves, which, yeah, is a little thing, but it kept jarring me from the text.

The most significant reason I'm hesitant about the book, however, is the portrayal of Henry. I'm still going back and forth on the stereotypical aspects of his characterization. Often, Henry's characterization fell back on the stereotypes of "disabled innocence" and "disabled inspiration" (see Understanding Disability: Inclusion, Access, Diversity, and Civil Rights). While all the important characters respect (not to mention love) Henry, and while he does demonstrate agency and clearly has a fulfilling life beyond his participation in the book's major plot, he is often used in service for the other characters (mostly, he teaches them the lesson of love, and he serves as an example of surviving [and thriving!] after extreme devastation [which in the context of this book is not his disability itself, refreshingly, but instead some of the abuse and assaults he suffers, some related to his disability and some not). However, he isn't reduced to that role, even if it's his major role, and so while I'm uneasy with how stereotypical his portrayal is and I do find it problematic, I was willing to keep reading. I did think the narrative emphasized how Henry had unique strengths and talents that his family and community valued, and that they did see him more than "just" someone with a mental disability.

I'm not sure I'll reread this book (like I said, it's pretty damn sad) but I can see myself flipping through to reread passages and certain scenes, as well as to appreciate (and try to learn from) Lamb's skill for depicting complicated family dynamics.(less)

During their early childhood, River, the mother, often sank into a deep depression that felled her for days and weeks; her daughters, Cecilia, Isabelle, and Janie tried to manage. Caring for themselves, each other, and mostly for Henry—who is mentally challenged and often needs their assistance, as well as their protection.

Cecilia and Isabelle are fraternal twins, but they often feel each other's anger, pain, and sadness. Janie copes by counting, checking, and isolating herself; she also writes bestselling crime novels. Isabelle is a well-known photographer, now sidelined from that career due to the horror she has witnessed in troubled parts of the world and a secret pain she keeps to herself. She also deals with certain aspects of her history by "sleeping around." Cecilia is the one who remained close to home, but copes by overeating and lashing out at those around her.

When River requires surgery, Isabelle and Janie come home to Trillium River, the small Oregon village where their grandmother has a house, and where River has been living for several years. They are needed to help care for Henry and their grandmother, who believes she is Amelia Earhart.

Coming home brings many of the childhood memories to the forefront, and as each of Henry's sisters tries to deal with their mother and each other, they experience all over again the troubled and painful life brought about by their mother's neglect, frequent verbal abuse, and the abandonment by their father.

"Henry's Sisters" is narrated in the first-person voice of Isabelle, but we soon come to understand and know each of the sisters and feel their emotional connections; despite their pain and anger, sometimes directed at one another, they clearly love and need each other.

So when one crisis after another challenges them, what will they do to get through? How will the family bakery begin to inspire their creativity and feed their souls? And when an unexpected reappearance from the past brings up unwelcome feelings, how will they cope?

As one final sad blow brandishes its fierceness, bringing out the best and worst in them, what will ultimately remind them again of the strength of their love for one another?

I enjoyed meeting and connecting with the characters in this book, all flawed, somewhat quirky, and totally human. I was sad to close the final page on this family. I could relate to aspects in each of them, but felt especially connected to Isabelle, trying to make a life on her terms, even as she struggled with the demons of her past. Five stars.

Talk about drama.

My mother gave this book to me after she read it, saying she thought I'd relate to the characters. That in itself is pretty hilarious/ominous, since all of the major characters in this book have some serious issues. The women are all basically magnified versions of hysterical 19th-century "ladies." This is not an exaggeration.

The story was lovely, but the writing was so sloppy that much of the time I couldn't get past the poorly crafted words to appreciate their meaning.

About Cathy Lamb

Cathy Lamb was born in Newport Beach, California. As a child, she mastered the art of skateboarding, catching butterflies in bottles, and riding her bike with no hands. When she was 10, her parents moved her, two sisters, a brother, and two poorly behaved dogs to Oregon before she could fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a surfer bum.

As a child, she mastered the art of skateboarding, catching butterflies in bottles, and riding her bike with no hands. When she was 10, her parents moved her, two sisters, a brother, and two poorly behaved dogs to Oregon before she could fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a surfer bum.

She then embarked on her notable academic career where she earned good grades now and then, spent a great deal of time daydreaming, ran wild with a number of friends, and landed on the newspaper staff in high school. When she saw her byline above an article about people making out in the hallways of the high school, she knew she had found her true calling.

After two years of partying at the University of Oregon, she settled down for the next three years and earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education, and became a fourth grade teacher. It was difficult for her to become proper and conservative but she threw out her red cowboy boots and persevered. She had no choice. She had to eat, and health insurance is expensive.

She met her husband on a blind date. A mutual friend who was an undercover vice cop busting drug dealers set them up. It was love at third sight.

Teaching children about the Oregon Trail and multiplication facts amused her until she became so gigantically pregnant with twins she looked like a small cow and could barely walk. With a three year old at home, she decided it was time to make a graceful exit and waddle on out. She left school one day and never went back. She likes to think her students missed her.

When Cathy was no longer smothered in diapers and pacifiers, she took a turn onto the hazardous road of freelance writing and wrote almost 200 articles on homes, home décor, people and fashion for a local newspaper. As she is not fashionable and can hardly stand to shop, it was an eye opener for her to find that some women actually do obsess about what to wear. She also learned it would probably be more relaxing to slam a hammer against one’s forehead than engage in a large and costly home remodeling project.

Cathy suffers from, “I Would Rather Play Than Work Disease” which prevents her from getting much work done unless she has a threatening deadline. She likes to hang with family and friends, walk, eat chocolate, camp, travel, and is slightly obsessive about the types of books she reads. She also likes to be left alone a lot so she can hear all the odd characters in her head talk to each other and then transfer that oddness to paper. The characters usually don’t start to talk until 10:00 at night, however, so she is often up ‘til 2:00 in the morning with them. That is her excuse for being cranky.

She adores her children and husband, except when he refuses to take his dirty shoes off and walks on the carpet. She will ski because her children insist, but she secretly doesn’t like it at all. Too cold and she falls all the time.

She is currently working on her next book and isn’t sleeping much.(less)

“Sisters are the worst. And they are the best. A sister can be awful and complicated and loving and protective and petty and competitive, and when you die she is the person you want beside you holding your hand. Somebody's gotta organize the potluck after the service and you know your husband's not gonna be up to the job.” — 18 people liked it
