Blood Sisters is a gripping story created withthemes of real substance and wide appeal. Whilethis sizzling novel is considered a classic of 1970sfeminist literary fiction, the story is all too timelytoday as we face violent debate about national andethnic autonomy in Ireland and elsewhere.Journalists witness ground wars and terroristresponses in detailed news reports, but Valerie Minerhas divined a passionate full-blooded story about the individuals and families behind those headlines.At the heart of Blood Sisters are two cousins, one Irish, one American, who grew up steeped intheir mothers' ideals of the 1916 Uprising. The twoyoung women try to understand each other's views, to cross the blurry lines between private and politicallife, but are divided by their separate historiesand often despair at the possibility of comprehension, let alone reconciliation.Blood Sisters intricately combines importantissues within the tense format of a thriller. Minersubtly explores the relationships among women ofdifferent generations, unexpected and unacceptableromance, the daily dramas of immigrant life, and the struggle of Irish people to discover andcreate their own identity and autonomy.Blood Sisters with its suspenseful story, its crucialquestions, its vibrant humor and its evocativedescriptions is a tour de force by one of the mostimportant writers of her generation.
