This excerpt from Gilberts book "Eat, Pray, Love" (which I have read in its entirety), is an in depth look into Gilbert and her sister's relationship. The way the author describes her sister is in a tone of awe and admiration. Gilbert sees Catherine as strong and brave, having many of the qualities she covets. She also notices the complex differences in their personalities.
And as Gilbert tells us up front about her and her sister's adolescent relationship and then some, readers get to experience it firsthand from the dialogue of the two sisters when they are in Italy. Their ending conversation also tells a lot about their relationship, as Elizabeth reminds Catherine to call her when she gets off of the plane, and Catherine recognizes that this is her sister displaying affection, and responds saying "I know, sweetie. I love you too".
