Pressestimmen
“Siblings will jump on this book to read about pigeonholing . . . power dynamics . . . and the coded messages, fond or furious, that only the person who knows you best will understand.”
—O: The Oprah Magazine
“If you have a sister, you will probably recognize every detail and laugh or cry.”
—The Daily Beast
“Tannen’s very talented ear allows her to see inside our most intense relationships using the windows of our words.”
—Baltimore Sun
“Love/hate doesn’t begin to describe the elation and heartbreak, the humor and perplexed contradictions revealed in this delightful book when sisters speak of and to each other.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer
Kurzbeschreibung
NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER
Conversations between sisters reveal a deep and constant tug between two dynamics—an impulse toward closeness and an impulse toward competition. It takes just a word from your sister to start you laughing, or to summon up a past you both share. But it also takes just a word to send you into an emotional tailspin. For many women, a sister is both a devoted friend and a fierce rival.
Wise and witty, You Were Always Mom’s Favorite! will leave you with a profound new understanding of the unique and precious sister bond, as well as provide practical advice that will open up communication, dispel tensions, and make a vital connection even stronger, deeper, and more resilient.

More About Roles Than Conversation
27. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I enjoyed You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation and know of Tannen's other books, so was interested to see that she has sliced her studies of conversation yet another way here -- along sisterly lines in You Were Always Mom's Favorite!
It's an interesting slice since, as Tannen writes, "A sister is like yourself in a different movie, a movie that stars you in a different life." She posits that these lives revolve around a subset of sibling rivalry where sisters connect and compete in attempts to align themselves for parental love. She supports that not through strictly scientific data but rather social anecdotes -- examples pulled from literature, pop culture, and her own interviews. It's notable that I've recently read two other books that incorporate "everyman" quotes; they were clumsy in insertion and vacuous in content and frankly spoiled the works. But here, Tannen knows expertly when to summarize someone's comments, and when instead to roll seamlessly into a spot-on and memorable quote.
A couple quibbles. First, contrary to the subtitle, this book is not much about conversation. Rather, it's primarily about psychology and exploring the underlying family roles and dynamics that sometimes bubble up into verbal and nonverbal communications.
Second, Tannen leaves no stone unturned, no shade of gray unexamined. At one point, she refers to the 17 single-spaced pages of research notes she'd accumulated for one topic; I think she included every one of them in this book -- first via a complete, fully formed example, then appended with a summarizing paragraph. The wordiness and repetition grew tedious, and tolerable in doses of at most a chapter at a time. I actually think an audio version would be a better fit for Tannen's smooth, conversational (!) style, and would make any repetition feel reinforcing rather than frustrating.

Helped Me Figure Out my Wife!
19. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
My wife's relationships with her sisters drive me absolutely bonkers. One day/month/year they're best friends who do lots of things together, and the next second/minute/hour they're arch enemies who can't agree on anything. Deborah Tannen's book is an entertaining look at the dynamics of sister-sister conversations, and although it doesn't explain everything I'd like to know about why my wife and her two sisters act the way they do, it at least let me know that there are lots of other sisters out there who act just as bizarrely.
I recommend this for anyone who wants support in trying to negotiate this minefield.

Another Insightful Book from Deborah Tannen
31. Juli 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I loved Tannen's book about mothers and daughters in conversation, so I had to read her latest, about sisters. If you have a sister or daughters I think you will find this book enjoyable and useful. It's interesting that sisters' conversational themes are so universal that Tannen can analyze them.
Most helpfully, Tannen addresses why sisters compete. She gives parents tips about how to minimize sisters' rivalry and adult sisters advice about how not to get riled up about old childhood baggage.
