September 5, 2015: More great press for Sistering author Jennifer Quist, this time a feature in the St. Albert Gazette by Scott Hayes, who writes, "I don't have any sisters, but thanks to Jennifer Quists's new novel, I feel like I've just taken a crash course through the lives, the dramas, the personalities, and the many, many conversations of five sisters."

September 3, 2015: Here's Michael Hingston's Edmonton Journal piece on Jenn Quist, whose second novel Sistering has just been published by LLP. 

August 19, 2015: Sistering author Jennifer Quist knows something about writing good novels--and something about families, too, what with all those sisters and her own five sons. Here's her piece on the Family Saga on The 49th Shelf.

August 12, 2015: Pickle Me This reviews Jennifer Quist's Sistering: "Weird and original, a dark comedy indeed—not necessarily miles away from Sela Ward and Sisters either. This is one that will appeal in particular to readers who loved Trevor Cole’s Practical Jean, and to anyone who ever had a pack of sisters."

August 7, 2015: The 49th Shelf is featuring Jennifer Quists's Sistering PROMINENTLY! --and ...

August 7, 2015: ... more on The 49th Shelf -- a whole feature on Sisters in CanLit, very much including Jennifer Quist's Sistering.

August 5, 2015: The September Quill & Quire has just arrived with Angie Abdou's terrific review of Sistering, by Jennifer Quist, which she compares to a Canadian version of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, focusing on straight people in Edmonton. "Quist has created a rollicking page-turner, a tall tale full of black humour and extreme human drama that will make for excellent escapist reading."

Excerpt

“My sisters’ mothers-in-law weren’t dead—not really, not fully—until someone else discovered them, wrote it down, took them away, planted a stone over them. Maybe there’s no meaning in dying when no one’s looking. If a tree falls in the forest—we all know how that goes.
    The toast pops in my face, black, smoky, and shrunken.
    And I know what will happen next.”
