One of the funniest books I've ever read. I really miss this side of Rita Mae. ( )

My all-time favorite book with multiple time periods is SIX OF ONE by Rita Mae Brown. This is a fabulous book that tells the story of two sisters, Julia (aka Juts) and Louise (Wheezie). When they aren't fighting each other, they take on all comers. The timeline jumps back and forth between "present day" around 1980 or so, and the 1910s through 40s.

By turns, this book will have you laughing hysterically and sobbing uncontrollably, but in an incredibly good way. When their phenomenal mother Cora dies, I sobbed like a baby. Cora is one of the most beloved of all book characters in my thousands of books of reading.

I cherish this book, and re-read it on a regular basis.

There is a sequel, BINGO that is good. But it does not live up to SIX OF ONE. Despite that fact, I love these characters so much that I've re-read SIX OF ONE dozens of times, and have re-read BINGO more than once as well. Check it out. You will NOT be sorry! ( )

Virkelig cool historisk slægts- og kvinderoman, der i den grad ville fortjene en oversættelse.

Funniest. Book. Ever! ( )

My favorite Rita Mae Brown book. Full of life, joy, pain, sadness, love, hate... I've probably read it 10 times. I saw Ms. Brown at a book signing event two nights ago and she signed my original, ratty, 1979 paperback copy for me! I couldn't be happier. ( )
