Easter parade

The story starts in 1930, and the first sentence is : “Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life…” and indeed, this is what the story is all about. Sarah marries at a very young age, is pregnant soon after and brings up her three sons in the American countryside. Her husband is abusive, hits her, and she finds oblivion in alcohol, dying at 47 from liver disease and a curious fall. Emily is the intellectual one, finding a good job in New York but all along, her love life is a disaster. Men don't seem to want to spend their life with her. In the background, there is also Pookie, their alcoholic mother. A sad story but a really good read.
