Airport buy, mainly because it had a Michael Cunningham recommendation on the sleeve. It's a charming story. In the 40ies two stepsisters set out for a big Hollywood American Dream story, but nothing comes easy, their lives get uprooted a couple of times as the story twists and turns. Colorful characters drift in and out, and sisters can be the most loving yet also the most cruel. Perfect to blast through on a day on the beach.
