“This is my all time favorite book in the world. I have given at least 20 copies of this book away to women friends of mine. These women in this book are strong and witty and usually wise. I want them to be my friends and I want to be just like Cora. I reread it when the world gets crazy and I need to find some balance. Can't say enough. ”

Yes | No“"Six of One" is a rousing tale of two sisters told by Rita Mae Brown in her unapologetic, eccentric Southern style. She introduces us to Julia and Louise Hunsenmeir, fondly known as Juts and Wheezie, an indomitable pair of quarreling sisters born around the turn-of-the-century in Runnymede, Maryland. Spanning almost a century, we watch the madcap life of Juts and Wheezie take them from small tots following their mother around in the local rich lesbian's Georgian mansion to the birth of their own children and the mayhem that follows, to Juts and Wheezie as old cronies, still tangling in their 80's”

1 of 1 members found this review helpful“"This hilarious family history of love, war, and sibling rivalry takes place in Runneymede, a place located 'smack dab on the Mason Dixon line' with half the town in Maryland, the other half in Pennsylvania. The story of two sisters, Juts and Wheezie, and their mother Cora is told in dated chapters; those in the present tense cover a five-month period in 1980; the past tense chapters relate events that occurred between 1909 and 1961. Juts and the religious Wheezie have not stopped squabbling for seventy-five years. When Nickel, the daughter of Juts and narrator of the 1980 chapters, goes off to college, writes successful books about her family, and then - to top it all off - buys her mother a new car with some of her earnings, Wheezie can barely stand it and doesn't let Juts forget for one minute that both Nickel's books and her bisexual lifestyle are completely unforgivable, unless of course Nickel might want to buy her something? Runneymede - past and present - is filled with colorful characters and lively stories. A fun, funny, and penetrating novel, sparkling with warm spirited humor and keen perceptions about women, men, war, and social status." Jesse Larson”
