The island Sisters follows four close friends as they meet in college and proceed through their lives. All of them face struggles and trauma both current and past. I loves the different cultures and perspectives. It was a rather depressing read though. Which is understandable since it tackles sensitive issues like domestic violence, neglect and sexual assault. The bond of these woman was heartwarming and I loved the banging of their bangle bracelets (you'll need to read it to understand). The novel was moving and emotional.… (mehr)

This was an interesting novel on several levels. I appreciated the inclusion of women from several different cultures. I enjoyed reading about the different islands and food. I found myself researching recipes for some of the dishes mentioned. The focus on abuse was important and timely. As I was reading the book, I had difficulty understanding why the author had ALL 4 of these friends deal with significant abuse in their lives. 100% is a significant issue and overinflates the incidence of abuse-though I do note 4 is a small sample. I struggled with the end when one died. I understand that women do perish from abuse. Physical abuse leading to death in relationships is typically progressive in nature, and I was surprised about the specific character who died. Nevertheless, I found this to be a good read depicting women of color. I recommend. Thank you for ARC.… (mehr)

A book which tells the story of four young women who met at university and formed an unbreakable bond of friendship, loyalty and support. All face hardship and various forms of abuse which if faced alone would have been soul and possibly life destroying; but with the unshakable bonds of their friendship, they face their fears and prove they can rise above their abusers.
A strong, very enjoyable, well written book.

It is about sisterly love, how no matter what they are their for each other even through everything. This book touches upon the horrors of abuse and how these four women survive it with each others help.
The only thing I didnt like about the story was all the back and forth between each womans story. But see why it was written this way.… (mehr)
