Before she wrote The Time Traveler's Wife, now a bestseller all around the world, Audrey Niffenegger's books were beautiful, handmade, exquisitely illustrated tales, published in editions as small as ten copies. They took many years to create, were bought by collectors and have been seen by few people. At last, as part of its acclaimed and very successful list of graphic books, Cape is delighted to publish The Three Incestuous Sisters in a beautiful edition at an affordable price. It is the story of three sisters, Clothilde, Ophile and Bettine, who live together in a lonely house by the sea. All three are rivals for the love of Paris, the lighthouse-keeper's son. When Paris chooses Bettine, and she becomes pregnant, the other sisters are jealous. Eventually, after the baby is born, they cause Bettine's death. Paris runs away to sea and Ophile, overwhelmed by remorse, throws herself from the lighthouse. Clothilde lives on in the house, sad and alone. Then one day a circus comes to town. In it is an amazing flying boy. She recognizes him as Bettine's child...… (mehr)

Another once-an-artist-book. I think I like the Adventuress better, but I dig Audrey Niffenegger's mind. ( )

The title and the picture on the cover lead you to believe the story is something other than it is. It's using the second definition of incestuous.

in·ces·tu·ous
2. (of human relations generally) excessively close and resistant to outside influence.

From the Afterword:
"I call the books I make visual novels to acknowledge a debt to Lynd Ward, whose "woodcut novel" Gods' Man: A Novel in Woodcuts was the first book of this kind I ever saw, and to differentiate my books from graphic novels.

"When I try to explain The Three Incestuous Sisters to someone who hasn't seen it, I tell them to imagine a silent film made from Japanese prints., a melodrama of sibling rivalry, a silent opera that features women with very long hair and a flying green boy. I never try to explain what it means; you can find that out for yourself."

meh
Three sisters.
2 fall in love with one guy.
the one guy only loves the pretty one.
They have a baby
After that I can't even explain it in words that make sense.
meh. ( )

This is a beautiful, artful, haunting illustrated book with a minimalist text. A picture book for grown-ups. With barely one sentence per page, the Gorey-like illustrations carry most of the narrative, which manages to be both operatic and understated, both tragic and charming. ( )

four minute read, certainly enjoyable for the creepster etched art! however, not very ... incestuous? it can be construed from the subtext, maybe, but i don't know. beginning to suspect audrey niffenegger and i aren't meant to be together. ( )

It's not like it was horrible, but I don't understand the appeal of this book even a little bit. I didn't think it was elegant, delicate, or any of the other words I've seen used to describe it. A fourteen-year "labor of love," dedicated to her sisters? Um... Why?
