Sisters is just breathtaking!

Not being one to read romance novels, I've been looking for over a year for a good book to read. I found "Sisters" while browsing in the library one day and I was completely captivated. It covers the Women's Suffrage movement in a fashion where the reader gains appreciation for the depth of the struggle and all the intricacies of the politics involved. The main historical figures, such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton seem very accurately portrayed as well. The only real flaw I saw in the book is that the main fictional characters of the book struggle a lot over whether or not to dedicate themselves to the movement, which isn't very characteristic of grassroots campaigners, since they tend to be die hards. Nonetheless, the setting and the history presented makes this book simply one of the best books in the Christian market today. In fact, its one of the best books in the regular market as well. I really do recommend it.
