I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass
This is the third book by Julia Glass that I've read - Three Junes and The Whole World Over are the other two. The novel is the story of two sisters Clem & Louisa Jardine. The novel is told in alternating chapters from Clem & Louisa's viewpoints. It covers a period from 1980 to 2005. Each chapter seems to be a sort of vignette - there is not a lot of plot that carries over from chapter to chapter. Each chapter is a different phase in their lives. Clem has a different boyfriend in each chapter and is usually living in a new place doing a new biology/wildlife-related job. Louisa finally settles in New York but also has different men in each chapter.
Julia Glass is one of my favorite authors. I loved Three Junes when I read it though I am afraid to go back and re-read it now. I didn't love The Whole World Over as much as Three Junes.
I really liked I See You Everywhere once I got used to the fact that there wasn't a plot that carried over from chapter to chapter. I loved the characters - Julia Glass does such a good job of creating characters that you care about.
