The Alternatives

By Caoilinn Hughes

Riverhead Books/PRH

    Four Irish sisters in their thirties reunite to find that their lives, especially their childhoods, were not really how they thought. All four are frighteningly (for all involved), incredibly intelligent and thoughtful. They find that for better, and worse, they do care deeply about each other and find themselves growing closer than they imagined they could.

    This is a smart, warm, funny and ultimately optimistic look at what we think we know and how we can rethink it all without the world coming to an end.

    Don't miss this. You'll love the way it engages with several very different philosophers.
