I thought this book was going to be a heart-warming story of
sisterly love. It didn’t quite turn out to be that type of book. Louisa and
Clem are two very different people who were never really that close. Louisa
seems to have some very bitter feelings towards her sister and envies her personality
traits that she lacks: adventurous, attractive and interesting.
The book is about their ever-changing relationship through
adolescents to middle age. When Louisa is diagnosed with breast cancer I
thought there would be some profound connection or moment that would bring the
sister’s together but it seemed to just fall flat.
This is one of those books that has the potential to be
really good but I just never felt attached to either of the characters and to
be honest, Louisa was kind of annoying (she is so negative!). The final event
in the book is a tragedy and again, it fell flat and left me with many
questions (but not the good, thought provoking kind).
I don’t think I will give this book a wine pairing because I
don’t highly recommend it, perhaps it would go best with a light, watery beer?
