While the life of two English twins, Anne and Sarah, goes on peacefully, taking them from childhood to the end of adolescence, the novel plunges us into a background full of magic, traditions and real instructions.

Lunar and sun cycles will find their original meanings again; we are going to learn to work with herbs, to interpret Celtic Oghams, Tarots, we are going to understand the powers of stones, of colors and especially of our minds. A perfect mix of 21st century modernity and the wish to wake up and embrace the power, the symbols and the tools that the Universe puts at our disposal.

But when the Canopean ambassador, Johor, finally arrives, he has devastating news: they will die along with their planet. Slowly they come to understand that their salvation may lie in the creation of one Representative who can save what is most essential to them.Lessing has written a frightening and, finally, hopeful book, a profound and thought-provoking contribution to the science-fiction genre the novel generally.

‘See, we love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much.’THE WEIRD SISTERS is a winsome, trenchantly observant novel about the often warring emotions between sisters.Rosalind. Bianca. Cordelia. The Weird Sisters.Rose always first, Bean never first, Cordy always last. The history of our trinity is fractious – a constantly shifting dividing line, never equal, never equitable. Two against one, or three opposed, but never all together.Our estrangement is not drama-laden – we have not betrayed one another’s trust, we have not stolen lovers or fought over money or property or any of the things that irreparably break families apart. The answer, for us, is much simpler.See, we love each other. We just don’t happen to like each other very much.
