Product Description
Perched right on the Mason-Dixon line, tiny Runnymede, Maryland, is ripe with a history almost as colorful as the women who live there—from Celeste Chalfonte, headstrong and aristocratic, who murders for principle and steals her brother’s wife, to Fannie Jump Creighton, who runs a speakeasy right in her own home when hard times come knocking. Then of course, there’re Louise and Julia, the boldly eccentric Hunsenmeir sisters. Wheezie and Juts spend their whole lives in Runnymede, cheerfully quibbling about everything from men to child-rearing to how to drive a car. But they never let small-town life keep them from chasing their biggest dreams—or from being true to who they really are. Sparkling with a perfect combination of sisterhood and sass, Six of One is a richly textured Southern canvas—Rita Mae Brown “at her winning, fondest best”(Kirkus Reviews).

 Sorry, Kathy April 2, 2008
A dear friend loved and recommended this book...said she rereads it about once a year. On top of that...all these good reviews here. I must be turning into a crotchety old lady, because I read as long as I could before I became too aggravated with the childish conversations that made the adults seem silly & boring. When does it start to become a wonderful read? Did I give up too early? Ah well..
 Six of One October 26, 2007
First book in the series of three using the same characters. Wonerfully funny and poignant. I highly recommend this book followed by Loose Lips and the Bingo by the same author.
Just too funny! July 17, 2007

A friend stumbled across this title at a book exchange in Costa Rica when we were travelling about 10 years ago. I have read it every year since and still laugh out loud everytime. Wish they would make a movie of it.
 be prepared to stick to it to read the whole thing June 17, 2007

this was a hard one to get through. it tells the stories of two sisters growing up, as well as their mom, and the woman she works for who is also her good friend. some parts of the book are SO GOOD and some are SO BORING. it's weird...
A classic of the funny, heartbreaking human condition February 14, 2007
I first read Six of One about 25 years ago and still read it almost once a year. While I have enjoyed many other books of Rita Mae Brown, this is her hands-down, standout best. Her characterizations are superb, the sibling rivalries of Juts and Weezie still make me laugh out loud (just thinking about the tugboat-float episode cracks me up), and the heroic actions of the characters can't help but bring a tear to the eye. This is a hilarious, triumphant celebration of the human spirit.
