About this audiobook
Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel's new novel about a remarkable family, a stunning tragedy-and what happens when four very different young women come together under one very lively roof.
Twenty-one-year-old Candy is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion's latest international supermodel. Her sister Tammy, twenty-nine, has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV. In New York, oldest sister Sabrina, thirty-four, is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie, at twenty-six, is an American in Florence, living for her art. One Fourth of July weekend, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family's annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.
Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives come together to share one New York brownstone, to support each other, and to pick up the pieces while one of them struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. A bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men . . . and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives.
With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of sisters who are irrevocably woven into the fabric of one another's lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility-and the wonder-of life.

44 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Robert Littell's spy stories vary somewhat in quality. This story of 'The sisters Death and Night', Spy/Counterspy, sleepers and assassins is a solid B- in 'my' book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wonderfully nuanced story of a cold-war espionage chess game between the CIA and KGB with substantial consequences. The sisters are two CIA officers whose job is to concoct plots. They come up with what they consider the perfect crime, using the unwitting former head of the KGB sleeper school. Nothing is as it seems though and the plot is twisted enough to maintain suspense until the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A cold war spy thriller that takes place in the early 60s, The Sisters begins somewhat poorly, as the description of the title characters, a highly-placed, CIA odd couple, that makes up the first chapter is distractingly mannered in the telling. But as the storyline moves from these two screwy yet sinister fellows (yes, they are male, despite their nickname) and out into the storyline of the plot they set into action, the book, and the writing, pick up considerably. By about the 60-page mark I was very much into the tale. There are interesting and intelligent characters, and almost all of the plot twists are at least hinted at subtly beforehand, so there's no feeling of things just being inserted for convenience sake four fifths of the way through the plot line.A high quality spy thriller for those who like the genre. I would not necessarily go out searching for more by Littell, as I don't read more than one or two such books per year, but if I were to stumble upon another book of his on a thrift store rack (which is where I found The Sisters), I might well pick it up.
