Turns out I enjoy stories about family sagas and sibling relationships more than I thought! Wonderful post, Anne! I just realized I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few on this list (and the ones I haven’t read were already on my TBR). Some links (including all Amazon links) are affiliate links. I’m always keeping my eye out for more great fictional stories about siblings that I can read next-please share your recommendations for sibling stories in the comments section! Sibling stories This book list features many of my favorite sibling stories, along with two that I look forward to reading, as they come highly recommended. Why is that, and how does it happen? These are the questions I enjoy seeing novelists answer in the pages of a good novel. And yet most siblings are very, very different from each other. Their life experiences are-to a degree-similar. Siblings share parentage, they often grow up together, often live in the same house. The sibling bond isn’t often featured in fiction, which is a shame because there’s so much to explore in those early childhood bonds.

I don’t think I even realized I enjoyed reading about siblings until Ann Patchett’s The Dutch House, but ever since enjoying that book, I’ve kept my eye out for novels that make the sibling relationship-and not romantic love, marriage, or parent-child bonds-primary. My own reading logs reflect my love of fiction about complicated families, including stories focused on the complexities of sibling relationships. Reading is personal we are all drawn to different sorts of stories, themes, and styles.
