When I first read the title (I hadn't yet read the back cover blurb) I glibly thought that it was about two sisters and their marriages. Wrong. This debut novel by Connor is about two very different women (one is no more than a girl really) who just happen to 'marry' the same man. I use the word marry very loosely indeed. Their community, their rules, their descriptions etc can be rather quirky. Marriages are normally called 'sealings'.'
And as I started to read, I pictured in my mind's eye a sort of Amish-type community. Very intriguing and I wanted to keep reading. There's something that satisfies when you read about a culture or a religion, for example, very different from your own.
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson]]
