Listen for the Singing by Jean Little
5.0
A delighful read, like of Jean Little's.
It's lovely to revisit Anna, a little older and wiser, but still Anna. Interestingly, the twins don't seem to have grown up as much, but Gretchen and Rudy have. I love how Anna is so determined to help with Rudy, even though he treated her so unkindly before. And how Rudy realizes how badly he treated her and attempts to make things right.
Writing style is a slow-paced book, but continually moving. And Little doesn't suddenly drop one plot to follow another, each plot is tied back in and continues to the end of the book.
The book mentions war, a side character being hurt, and blindness.
