Like a Sister: A Novel
This novel was recommended to me by a reader of my blog and I'm so glad I tracked down a copy. It's beautifully written, very simple prose, but with some gorgeous descriptive flourishes. Thirteen year old Sister has been deprived of a proper childhood and clings to the relationships she is familiar with, despite the fact that they are destroying her. It's very truthful; sometimes we love people who don't deserve it. I really felt for Sister and cared about her deeply - for an author to conjure from words, a person who lives and breathes for you on the page, is a sign of good writing. Janice Daugharty is obviously a skilled writer and I hope to come across more of her work.
