"Let us go away together, away from the anger and imperatives of men. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement. In the evenings I shall read to you while you work your cross-stitch in the firelight. And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl." --Love letter from one woman character to another in Sisters, as quoted by Henneberger.

I clicked the link to the NY Times article. She's much more fascinating than I'd given her credit for.
My guess is that since her daughter is gay she was afraid that discussing the book would lead to questions about that. Then again, if her memories like mine maybe she really has forgotten.
