In The Lost Sisterhood's modern storyline, Diana is an Oxford University professor who has always had a secret fascination with Amazons. Each of these story lines informs the other, and each has a love interest in it, though the romances are not the center of the story. Contemporary heroine investigating the past, with a parallel historical storyline that gives the reader the 'real' history. Her first was Juliet, and though their characters and stories are different, this book again features her classic style.

The Lost Sisterhood is Fortier's second book. One of the books that fits in to all of these points is The Lost Sisterhood by Anne Fortier, which I read back in March and am finally taking the time to write about. My goal is to read more adult books this year, and then review them, because I don't do that very well. I haven't read many adult books in the past few years, and whenever I do read one, I feel a tremendous sense of nostalgia for my past reading choices. The Lost Sisterhood features another group of iconic, legendary characters, another grand adventure-you'll see in these pages that Fortier understands the kind of audience she has built with Juliet, but also she's delivering a fresh new story to keep that audience coming back for more. This historical back-story focuses on a group of women, and more specifically on two sisters, whose fight to survive takes us through ancient Athens and to Troy, where the novel reinvents our perspective on the famous Trojan War.

The Amazons' 'true' story-and Diana's history-is threaded along with this modern day hunt. When Diana is invited to consult on an archeological excavation, she quickly realizes that here, finally, may be the proof that the Amazons were real.

Her fascination with the history of the Amazons, the legendary warrior women of ancient Greece, is deeply connected with her own family's history her grandmother in particular. The Lost Sisterhood tells the story of Diana, a young and aspiring-but somewhat aimless-professor at Oxford. The Lost Sisterhood is the new novel from the author of Juliet, an Oprah's Book Club Pick published in 30 countries which has been picked up by Universal to be made into a feature film.
