About this audiobook
What is one sister without the other? Is it even possible to imagine?
New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice explores the complex emotional equations of love and loyalty that hold together three pairs of remarkable sisters. Here in the halls of Newport Academy, a unique private school that has attracted generations of rebels, outcasts, and visionaries, an unforgettable lesson in the eternal truths of sisterhood is about to begin….
After years away, Maura Shaw has returned to Newport, Rhode Island, to teach English at the academy. Behind her lies her life as the perfect Midwestern wife and mother, a life that seemed on the surface to be all she had ever wished for. That illusion vanished in a storm off Mackinac Island in the wake of an accident that engulfed Maura's husband and her older daughter, Carrie. Now, with her son and younger daughter, she hopes to find a new beginning.
Newport has never failed to infuse Maura with a sense of mystery and hope. But for fourteen-year-old Beck, the move is a painful upheaval from everything she has ever loved-especially her sister, Carrie. Ever since her sister disappeared, Beck has retreated into the world of mathematics, where principles are permanent, unlike so many other things in life. Without Carrie, Beck has lost half of herself-the half that would have fit in at the elite private school she and her brother, Travis, will now attend. The half that made things right. Still, Beck clings to the hope that her sister will return to them.
Beck isn't alone in her struggle to adjust. At sixteen, Travis is juggling a long-distance first love and an attraction to an expensive-looking girl with a wicked sparkle in her eye. And for Maura, ghosts linger here-an unresolved breach with her own beloved sister and a long-ago secret that may now have the power to set her free….
Set against the breathtaking beauty of the New England coast at its most dramatic, populated by a cast of indelible characters, The Geometry of Sisters is Luanne Rice at her most compelling, a dazzling world to which readers will want to return again and again.

Reviews for The Geometry of Sisters
98 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book held my attention. I especially liked the math obsessed daughter Beck. Not a great work of art, but it was diverting.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There was never a sentence in the book longer than 4-5 words. The story line was old and predictable. I think this should be labeled a YA romance.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maura Shaw is a young widow with a missing daughter and two grieving remaining children. To try and give them a new beginning, Maura accepts a teaching job back home in Rhode Island and moves the family there. They all miss the older daughter Carrie and Travis and Beck struggle to feel at home in their new school. All characters are richly fleshed out in this absorbing novel, another Luanne Rice success.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maura Shaw has returned to Newport, Rhode Island, with two of her three children. Her elder daughter, Carrie, disappeared from the hospital where she was taken following a boating accident in which her father drowned. Maura’s sister, Katharine, an artist, lives in RI. Maura is to be a teacher at the prestigious Newport Academy and daughter Beck and son Travis will attend as students. A new start is what this family needs to mend. Elder sisters Maura and Katharine need to find their way back to each other and Beck, who is seeking life’s answers in the world of mathematics, needs for her sister Carrie to find her way home. This was a very satisfying story of family, sisters, and friends in an examination of how the past can influence the future.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5just OK. I didn't much like the story line. Daughter Carrie leaves after father dies in canoe accident. Lots of secrets. Youngest daughter is math wizard who is very troubled. Old flame JD, teaching a new school which includes kids education, happen to be in town with estranged sister and runaway daughter.....too much to believe and I didn't.
