The Sisterhood

On March 15, 2003 I wrote this in my book journal:

Today I finished "The Sisterhood" by Michael Palmer. I started reading this book a long time ago and have picked it up now and again between other books that I happen to be reading. It's not that it's not a good book. There are just usually other that I have to read. When I decided not to read this month's book for my book club, I made it a point to finishe this book.

This book is about a group of nurses who "believe in preserving the dignity of human life." They do this by assisting in suicide before they face the painful death coming to them. That's the basic premis of the book but the story is about a doctor who has been framed by the sisterhood so it looks like he murdered a lady. When he gets too close to finding out about the sisterhood, they hire a hit man to hill him. So the reas of the book is really about him and a nurse hiding from the man who's trying to kill them.

In the end everything works out and the sisterhood is dismantled and the doctor and nurse live happily ever after. Very entertaining but low on substance. No quote this time.
