Women's Fiction
Sisterhood is forever…whether you like it or not. Prep meets Girls in White Dresses in Genevieve
Sly Crane’s deliciously addictive, voyeuristic exploration
of female friendship and coming of age that will appeal to
anyone who has ever been curious about what happens in a
sorority house. Twinsets and pearls, secrets and kinship, rituals that hold
sisters together in a sacred bond of everlasting trust.
Certain chaste images spring to mind when one thinks of
sororities. But make no mistake: these women are not
braiding each other’s hair and having pillow fights—not by a
long shot. What Genevieve Sly Crane has conjured in these pages is a
blunt, in your face look behind the closed doors of a house
full of contemporary women—and there are no holds barred.
These women have issues: self-inflicted, family inflicted,
sister-to-sister inflicted—and it is all on the page. At the
center of this swirl is Margot: the sister who died in the
house, and each chapter is told from the points of view of
the women who orbit her death and have their own reactions
to it. With a keen sense of character and elegant, observant prose,
Crane details the undercurrents of tension in a world where
perfection comes at a cost and the best things in life are
painful—if not impossible—to acquire: Beauty. A mother’s
love. And friendship… or at least the appearance of it.
Woven throughout are glimmers of the classical myths that
undercut the lives of women in Greek life. After all, the
Greek goddesses did cause their fair share of destruction.
