Loading... The Three Incestuous Sistersby Audrey Niffenegger
Niffenegger's sister theme, as seen in Her Fearful Symmetry and ghost theme, as found in both of her fictional novels, are repeated here by combining the visual arts with the written word. The two elements present a melodramatic scheme with aesthetic balance. (  ) BALE | May 15, 2013 |  Seems unduly influenced by Edward Gorey. This story is obviously a labor of love, but it didn't work for me at all. Creepy, pointless, and boring. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | A beautiful, peculiar and haunting book. Deeply sad in parts, hopeful in others. Reminscent in tone and style of Edward Gorey. ( ) catfantastic | Feb 9, 2012 | This is a beautiful, artful, haunting illustrated book with a minimalist text. A picture book for grown-ups. With barely one sentence per page, the Gorey-like illustrations carry most of the narrative, which manages to be both operatic and understated, both tragic and charming. ( )1  Logophile | Nov 13, 2011 | The Three Incestuous Sisters: An Illustrated Novel by Audry Niffenegger is a fantasy about three sisters: one with red hair, one with blue hair, and one with blond hair. The illustrations are dark and mysterious and, after reading the author's note regarding how they were created, quite difficult to complete. I greatly enjoyed the art involved in this book, but the story was more difficult to understand, but involves jealousy, remorse, and reunion. I rated this book 4 stars, primarily due to the power of the illustrations. I recommend this book to readers who appreciate illustrations or dark fantasy.
