Sisters 10th Anniversary Edition

From Amazon.com:
Saline interviews 36 sets of sisters ranging
from preschoolers to octogenarians. Some are well known (tennis star Chris
Evert and sisters Jeanne and Clare; model Christy Turlington and sisters Erin
and Kelly; Coretta Scott King and her sister Edythe). Others (Donna, Debbie
and Shirley Masiejczyk, each a police officer; Catherine and Mary Glackin,
both nuns) are also worth knowing. This exploration of a special relationship
is made even more affecting by the black-and-white photographs of the sisters
taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Wohlmuth.

The title characters in
Stop here and you have a story told many times
before, as fiction and nonfiction in tales like
Ellen Foster, or
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings--stories
in which a young girl reveals the horrors of her childhood.

the Bus With My Sister: A True Life Journey

From Amazon.com: This perceptive,
uplifting chronicle shows how much Simon, a creative writing professor at Bryn
Mawr College, had to learn from her mentally retarded sister, Beth, about
life, love and happiness. Beth lives independently and is in a long-term
romantic relationship, but perhaps the most surprising thing about her,
certainly to her (mostly) supportive family, is how she spends her days riding
buses. Six days a week (the buses don't run on Sundays in her unnamed
Pennsylvania city), all day, she cruises around, chatting up her favorite
drivers, dispensing advice and holding her ground against those who find her a
nuisance. Rachel joined Beth on her rides for a year, a few days every two
weeks, in an attempt to mend their distanced relationship and gain some
insight into Beth's daily life. She wound up learning a great deal about
herself and how narrowly she'd been seeing the world. Beth's community within
the transit system is a much stronger network than the one Rachel has in her
hectic world, and some of the portraits of drivers and the other people in
Beth's life are unforgettable. Rachel juxtaposes this with the story of their
childhood, including the dissolution of their parents' marriage and the
devastating abandonment by their mother, the effect of which is tied
poignantly to the sisters' present relationship. Although she is honest about
the frustrations of relating to her stubborn sister, Rachel comes to a new
appreciation of her, and it is a pleasure for readers to share in that
discovery.

The major-label debut from this Texas trio
proves their instrumental abilities, blending more traditional twang with slow
melodic blues, foot-tapping rockabilly, and bluegrass-inspired pop harmonies.
From the opener, "I Can Love You Better," the Chicks let their love of music
and genuine joy shine through while the energy on this album reminds one of
Carlene Carter. Solid musicianship, topnotch vocal performances, and
infectious pop hooks make this a stellar project.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood [SOUNDTRACK]

With the soundtrack to
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood,
O Brother, Where Art Thou? producer T
Bone Burnett has compiled another gently nostalgic gem. Filled with covers of
jazz standards, sparse blues picking, and traditional Cajun pieces, Sisterhood
matches Brother in ambiance and impeccable musicianship. The highlights are
numerous: Bob Dylan's lively song waltzes with a raspy narrative, Lauryn Hill
uses acoustic plucking to complement her soulful croon, and Bob Schneider
contributes an understated love-ballad rumbling with piano. Even the cover
songs are first-rate; Macy Gray jive-jumps through a faithful Billie Holiday
cover, and Tony Bennett slows things down with a dapper and distinguished Nat
"King" Cole homage. Despite the diffuse genres covered, the superior quality
of
Sisterhood's
songs renders these differences negligible, and the album's pacing ensures a
pleasing alternation of styles that never lags. In fact, there's nary a bad
song on the entire album. The divine secret's out--Sisterhood
is an essential listen.

I bought this collection only because of
Patti Smith's sultry, sad version of "Don't Smoke in Bed" followed by an airy,
beautiful Sinéad O'Connor rendition of "Mna Na H Eireann" (Women of Ireland.)
Not being a fan of the other artists on the CD, I thought it would be one of
those CDs I pulled out rarely only to hear the songs for which I bought it.
How mistaken I was. One day I decided to listen to the CD in its entirety, and
I was immediately swept up in the catchy Salt 'n' Pepa title track, then
equally impressed with Annie Lennox's rendition of the Sugarcubes's "Mama." Of
course, being a Serge Gainsbourg fan, I found Luscious Jackson's
interpretation of his provocative "69 Année Érotique" to be nothing short of
brilliant. Melissa Etheridge delivers a very convincing and even painful (in
that you feel her pain) "Weakness in Me"... the whole CD flows with a kind of
continuity rarely found on compilation CDs, this despite the varying types of
music represented. This largely ignored and under-hyped collection is
definitely worth purchasing.

Scott McPherson's off-Broadway hit made a
strong transition to the screen in this 1996 film by director Jerry Zaks.
Diane Keaton stars as a woman who, while taking care of her vegetating
father in Florida, discovers that she has leukemia. Only her long-estranged
sister (Meryl Streep) or the sister's children can provide a possible match
for a bone-marrow transplant. But the reunion is a rocky one, marked both by
Streep's guilt at having abandoned her sister to take care of their father,
and by the explosive dynamic between Streep and her rebellious, pyromaniac
oldest son (Leonardo DiCaprio). As grim as this all sounds, there is a
strong vein of black humor running through it that has the viewer laughing
at unlikely moments (particularly Keaton's visits to her distracted doctor,
a surprisingly funny Robert De Niro). But rest assured: tears will flow,
even as the film makes you reassess all of your own family relationships.

From Amazon.com:
Emma Thompson scores a double
bull's-eye with this marvelous adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Not only
does Thompson turn in a strong (and gently humorous) performance as one of the
Dashwood sisters--the one with "sense"--she also wrote the witty, wise
screenplay. Austen's tale of 19th-century manners and morals provides a large
cast with a feast of possibilities, notably Kate Winslet, in her pre-Titanic
flowering, as Thompson's deeply romantic sister. Winslet attracts the wooing
of shy Alan Rickman (a nice change of pace from his bad-guy roles) and dashing
Greg Wise, while Thompson must endure an incredibly roundabout courtship with
Hugh Grant, here in fine and funny form. All of this is doled out with the
usual eye-filling English countryside and handsome costumes, yet the film
always seems to be about the careful interior lives of its characters. The
director, an inspired choice, is Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who brings the same
exquisite taste and discreet touch he displayed in his previous Asian films
