The concept of sisterhood has always possessed a mystical allure. Siblings play a unique role in one another’s lives that simulates the companionship of parents as well as the influence and assistance of friends. Because they often grow up in the same household, they have a large amount of exposure to one another, like other members of the family. Though a sibling relationship can have both hierarchical and give-and-take elements, this relationship tends to be more egalitarian and consistent with family members. Furthermore, sibling relationships often reflect the overall condition of cohesiveness within a family. They generally spend more time with each other during childhood than they do with parents or anyone else, and sibling relationships are often the longest-lasting relationship in individuals’ lives. This paper explores the relationship and special bond between the siblings of the novel Bittersweet written by the notable Australian writer Colleen McCullough.
