Book Overview

The Two Sisters is a novel written by Virginia Terhune Van De Water and originally published in 1914. The story revolves around two sisters, Anne and Margaret, who are very different from each other. Anne is shy and introverted while Margaret is outgoing and confident. The sisters have grown up in a wealthy family and are used to a life of luxury and privilege. However, their lives take a turn when their father dies and they are left with a large debt to pay off. They are forced to leave their comfortable home and move to a small apartment in the city. As they try to adjust to their new life, Anne and Margaret must confront their own personal struggles. Anne is struggling with her shyness and lack of confidence while Margaret is dealing with a broken heart. They both find solace in different ways - Anne in her writing and Margaret in her social life. The novel explores themes of family, love, loss, and personal growth.
