Question 9: The Sisters

[Carol]

Compare Louisa's relationship with Treena to Will's relationship with Georgina. Do siblings know one another any better simply because they are related?

[Carol]

Treena was a spoiled brat in a lot of ways, and with her child and the goofy bedroom arrangements was enough to drive me nuts. I did like her as she was a comfort at times for Louisa to have someone to confide in and so share and do things together.

Georgina seemed more aloof to me. I know she loved her family, but it didn't seem it was easy for her to demonstrate it to those around her.

Do they know each other better? In this instance I think I would say yes, particularly toward the end as they had an opportunity to communicate more, and they had needs. I think of my Sister and I, and we fought and fought when we were young. I have scars to prove it. With gratitude, we get along very well now, and she had four children that I'm absolutely in love with. Had a weekend where I was able to be a bed and breakfast for some of them and it was wonderful. It's awesome!!!
