Where can I read Sisters in full?

The complete text of Sisters is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #4218 and divided into 1067 sections.

This page carries the whole of Sisters by Ada Cambridge, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #4218, a public-domain edition, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 5333 sentences across 28 chapters. Each chapter stores a record of which sentences cover which part of the work, so nothing is quietly dropped between the source edition and the page you read.

How is Sisters divided for reading?

Sisters is presented in 28 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Sisters as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 1067 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The 28 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.

Can I hear Sisters read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Sisters can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of Sisters can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
