Rise and Shine by Anna Quindlen
Â
I have the book in front of me so have her name spelled correctly this time. Though I didn’t find this book of Quindlen’s a page turner I did enjoy it and would recommend it. The story is of two sisters, orphaned when very young. The older sister takes over much of the care of her four year younger sister. It takes place in New York City. The older sister is a very successful morning show host, married with a son. The younger sister is a social worker working in the projects and is unmarried but has a relationship with a cop. This is a good description of the NY rich and famous and the poor areas.Bridget, the younger has always lived in Meghan’s shadow—until Meghan’s downfall. She called a person a very bad name when she thought she was off the air and wasn’t. She quit her job, or was fired. And at the same time her so called marriage fell apart. Bridget takes over as the strong one. This is much more to this story. I enjoyed reading about both life styles of the sisters and their environment. Quindlen wrote Blessings and Black and Blue among others.
