Camille (camillesbookishadventures) | 5 comments I read it as a child in the late 1990s or early 2000s. I believe it was originally published in English. I read a French translation so the cover won't help.
Three of the sisters have month names (April, May, June?). The fourth one doesn't or has a month that's not usually a name.
It may be a series.

Thank you!

It's not contemporary, though.

Three sisters named May, June, and August. (view spoiler)

Jen Ev Eve | 105 comments Yes. The beekeeping sisters mentioned in the blurb of The Secret Life of Bees are named May, June, and August

Thank you, it must be this book! I have no recollection of the bees, but it was so long ago. There can't be many books with characters with these exact same names!

Jen Ev Eve | 105 comments Did you rule out Rainbowheart's suggestion above (Oh, Those Harper Girls). There seems to be more than four sisters in that one but some of them are named after months
