Sisterland

 I always thought Curtis was a boy's name but Curtis Sittenfeld is the female author of Sisterland. Twins Violet and Kate are middle aged and living in Saint Louis, Missouri with their father. As youngsters they both had a special sense. Kate tried to downplay her special sense. Violet embraced her talents and made money as a psychic. While Kate is trying to raise her two young children Violet predicts an earthquake will shake Saint Louis on October 16th. While reading about the two sisters was interesting I thought the book was too detailed and overly long.
