I love love LOVE this book! I’m officially ready to see the movie. I’ve waited years to see the movie because I like to read books first. That way I can still let my imagination run free while reading without thinking of the imagery in the movie.
The book is such a powerful story about relationships. Throughout the novel the protagonist Sidda learns about relationships with men, best friends, and most importantly her mother Vivi, who is a member of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood or communauté de soeurs. In the heart of Louisiana, where the book is primarily set, Viviane and three other girls grew up together and formed a “divine” sisterhood. The four are inseparable, even five decades later. Yet despite the beautifully close relationship Vivi has with her “Ya-Yas,” her relationship with her daughter has not been great. As the book unfolds, the reader witnesses the fragile relationship between the two crumble then slowly grow stronger after many tears and much heartache.
