Jean Stubbs has long been known in this
country as well as in England as a master
storyteller, acclaimed for her vivid his-
torical novels. With her most recent
book, 1988 s A Lasting Spring, she earned
even wider poise, and won a legion of
new readers, for her story of the Second
World War. Now, in Like We Used To Be,
this beloved writer has written a book
that will place her in the first rank of
contemporary novelists: a warm, beauti-
fully woven, and utterly absorbing tale of
two sisters and their interlocking
destinies.
Leila and Zoe, as their friends might
say, are as different as chalk and cheese.
In July 1953 the beautiful Zoe is getting
married--happily ever after, assumes
everyone. Meanwhile Leila, an artist and
a renegade, is sculpting her life in a very
different fashion. By June of 1969 the
sisters are coming to terms with lives that
evolved in ways neither of them could
have foretold.
