Your sister might be the kindred soul who knows you best, or the most alien being in your household; she might enrage you or inspire you; she might be your fiercest competitor or closest co-conspirator, but she'll always share with you a totally unique bond. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are four of the most famous sisters in literature, and these stories of the joys and heartaches they share are a touching celebration of the special ties of sisterhood.

A series of short books by the world’s greatest writers on the experiences that make us human Also in the Vintage Minis series: Fatherhood by Karl Ove Knausgaard Motherhood by Helen Simpson Babies by Anne Enright Love by Jeanette Winterson
