Blue Sisters, Coco Mellors

The funny thing about their father was that he wasn't cold, or at least not always. Mercurial was how she would describe him. Changeable as the weather. And like the weather, he has to be regularly checked to work out what kind of day they were going to have. Lucky and her sisters could tell his mood by the way he closed the front door. Just like you wouldn't have a picnic in a hailstorm, you couldn't do certain things around an angry dad. No bicker over the remote, no crying over a bad grade, no laughing over a silly joke, no whining to their mom that they were hungry. He was the only man in the house, but he also was the house. They lived inside his moods.

Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors

«It was true. Being one of four sisters always felt like being part of something magic. Once Bonnie noticed it, she saw the world was made up of fours. The seasons. The elements. The points on a compass. Four suits in a pack of cards. Four chambers of a human heart. Bonnie loved being a part of this mystical number, this perfect symmetry of two sets of two. Until you know my sisters, she used to say to Pavel, you don’t know me.»
