It says Cain and Seth found wives, and I think the implication is that there were other people created other than Adam and Eve. Maybe they were just first. Arguably, the earlier stories in the Bible were never meant literally, anyway. Conversely, Chaurisse Witherspoon is the legitimate daughter of James and Laverne, and she has no idea her half-sister exists. The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy features extremely heavily implied Twincest between Rahel and Estha after their 23 year separation. Due to their obsession with blood purity, the God Emperors in The Stone Dance of the Chameleon have been known to engage in this, as well as Parental Incest. Fischer, Therese, "From Reliable to Unreliable Narrator: Rhetorical Changes in Joyce's 'The Sisters,'" James Joyce Quarterly, vol. 9, no. 1 (Fall 1971), pp.85–92.

Raczka also suggests that sometimes the bond between sisters can be overly idealised in fiction as in life. “There can be a tendency to romanticise sisters, which can make you feel bad if you’re not close.” This is something playwright Chloe Moss explores in her new play, Run Sister Run, a co-production with Sheffield Theatre and touring theatre company Paines Plough, about two sisters whose lives have taken very different paths. Moss was interested in the idea of trauma, and how it can twist a relationship – “how it can unite you or drive you apart”.Actually, Miro wasn't that big a Catholic to abstain before marriage. Ouisa was the devout one. Miro reached the same conclusion through rational means, reasoning that only a large community can afford to have people break religious taboos. Their community is very small. If you and your sister are ghost story fans, Niffenegger’s twisting family thriller will provide all the chills and creeps that you are looking for. While the identical twins Julia and Valentina are close and remain so throughout the story, they are beset by the past and the estranged relationship of their mother and aunt, who were also twins. Set in London, this book is the perfect spooky choice when you want to read books about sisters. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi And then there's the scene with Theon Greyjoy and his sister Asha, where she gave him a deep and rather passionate kiss, and felt him up. In this case, it was a Secret Test of Character: Asha recognized her brother, even if the reverse wasn't true. Plus, Theon was pretty embarrassed when he found out. In Cassandra Clare's City of Bones a fortune teller tells Jace that he will "Love the wrong person". He falls in love with Clary, who turns out to be his sister.

I asked my dad to send me, and by sixteen I was in college. I just graduated with a Transfer AA and I go to an online college next semester. I work online too. Doing research papers for college assholes who can’t read a book, apparently. So, I when I can, I take the same classes. Slam dunk.Like Raczka, Moss has always enjoyed writing about female relationships, so writing about sisters was a logical leap. “It’s not that I don’t like writing complicated men, but I enjoy putting women centre stage. You don’t see enough women who aren’t attached to a man’s story. We’re overrun with that.” Likewise, Cersei and Jaime Lannister, as revealed in the first book. Cersei's children, including King Joffrey, are not the offspring of her husband Robert Baratheon, but of her Half Identical Twin Jaime. If this were ever proven, the kids would be publicly slaughtered as abominations. Mom's not cool with that. She soon finds herself married off to a fellow slave and pregnant and must do whatever it takes to protect her child. Leonard, G. M., "The Free Man's Journal: The Making of History in Joyce's 'The Sisters,'" Modern Fiction Studies, vol 36, no.4 (Winter 1990), pp.455–482.

This book examines the tumultuous history of race in the United States as well as within a single family. It brings sisters who have been apart for their childhood together in a search for understanding of their origins. Oyeyemi’s story roughly follows lines connected with Snow White, while also using those images to create an utterly original tale at the same time. Both transporting and deeply analytical of race relationships, this book shows how culture and the past always impact the way sisters relate to each other. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger Twice in Katharine Kerr's Deverry series; the first time in Daggerspell, as part of the ancient tragedy that drives the first four books, involving a despairing heroine dumped by her one true love, the second time as one of the many acts demonstrating the corrupt nature of the villainess.When TV food host, Charlie, loses her sense of smell from a concussion, she becomes worried that her career is on the line – and that her awful co-host will steal her coveted promotion. Edit: Yeah, yeah, it’s an erogenous zone for some people, but I’m pretty damn sure he thought it was my clit because when he finally touched my actual clit he was surprised. Yes, I communicated. No, he wasn’t even close to finishing me off or close enough to be able to try to.” Senn, Fritz, "'He was too scrupulous always': Joyce's 'The Sisters,'" James Joyce Quarterly, vol. 2, no. 2 (Winter 1965), pp.66–72.
