Riot Recommendation: A Round-Up of Sibling Stories

This installment of Riot Recommendation is sponsored by Carry the One by Carol Anshaw. Carry the One begins in the hours following Carmen’s wedding reception, when a car filled with stoned, drunk, and sleepy guests accidentally hits and kills a girl on a dark country road. For the next twenty-five years, those involved, including Carmen and her brother and sister, craft their lives in response to this single tragic moment. ____________________________ On Monday, we asked for recommendations for books about siblings. We got a lot of fantastic responses. Here’s a round-up of what you guys suggested in the comments, on Facebook, and on Twitter.
