Description

No Friend Like a Sister uses this material to explore the characteristics of the sister relationship, to ask what sets it apart from friendship and from other family relationships. The discussions and interviews offer a rich and often moving resource of information, experience and opinion, and ultimately a valuable insight into the unique relationship between sisters. "No one will ever have the same closeness to you as your sister has, purely because, as you get older, they remember things no one else can. Theyre remembering the same things and theres a common background. You may have very close friends but nothing like a sister."
