Homesick starts off with the narrator as a small child, and the language very much reflects the way a child understands the world and orders their thoughts. This gradually changes as the character gets older. The book is very moving in parts as the narrator has a younger sister with severe health problems and goes through troubles of her own. However the book leaves odd gaps in the narrative, especially towards the end, which left me feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
