A review by astral_nay
Little Sister by Barbara Gowdy

2.0

While I enjoyed the writing style, many components of the plot left me concerned. The author takes a rather prolife stance on abortion, and there’s a a few instances of racism (the whole thing about “Indian visions” felt really unnecessary and tone deaf). The synopsis of the book also left me thinking this was going to be a gothic thriller with some magic realism. In actuality, this book was oddly paced and more so about grief. I’ve heard good things about this author, so I might be inclined to try her works again some time, but I just really didn’t jive with the political ideologies in this book, or the misleading synopsis.
