		<description><![CDATA[IN MY SISTER'S COUNTRY, the refrigerator is filled with half-empty jars of chocolate fudge and questionable eggs; the bathtub overflows because she falls asleep while the water rises to her nostrils; bottles of dark liquor move from cabinet to cabinet around the apartment as if they’re trying to run from someone; cartons of cigarettes are tucked between her hatboxes so I can steal my smokes without bothering her; three televisions are always on with the day’s news, on different stations; there are deadbolts inside her bedroom door so no one can get inside while she’s in there, unless they climb three flights of brick wall, up the side of the building, like the spiders that look for a warm supper in her apartment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lyrical, earnest second novel from Haines (after In My Sister's Country) portrays two women whose love for the same man challenges their lifelong friendship. Set at a Southern California beach house, the action erupts when Jane, having inherited the house from her recently deceased grandmother Franny, decides to leave her husband, Mike, and two daughters in the care of her best friend from childhood, Mattie, now a fine-arts appraiser in Chicago.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers will have a difficult time deciding who is the more self-destructive sister in this darkly comic debut novel of sibling rivalry and family dysfunction. Perhaps 17-year-old Molly functioning more or less on her own after going to live with her older sister, Amanda, an executive at a major Chicago magazine should be allotted extra points for daring to think it might be possible to cope. Their mother is in a hospice, dying of cancer, and their father a renowned psychologist left the family some years earlier and mysteriously disappeared. Beautiful, driven and high-strung Amanda is the domineering force in Molly's life, and the two continually lock horns. As Molly acts out her frustrations through random sexual encounters (including a risky obsession and charade with Amanda's boyfriend, Nathaniel), she replays flashbacks of the twisted life with her sister and parents, in particular the tyrannical mind games their father played with the girls and his ruthless control over their weak-willed mother.]]></description>
