From the Bookshelf of Topeka & Shawnee Co. Public Library…

[close] The So Many Books, So Little Time discussion group's pick for our October meeting.
Book description: The Andreas sisters were raised on books - their family motto might as well be, 'There's no problem a library card can't solve.' Their father, a renowned, eccentric professor of Shakespearean studies, named them after three of the Bard's most famous characters: Rose (Rosalind - As You Like It), Bean (Bianca - The Taming of the Shrew), and Cordy (Cordelia - King Lear), but they have inherited those characters' failures along with their strengths. Now the sisters have returned home to the small college town where they grew up - partly because their mother is ill, but mostly because their lives are falling apart and they don't know where to go next.
