The Moon Sisters by Therese Walsh
3.0
Family. Secrets. Sisters. Adventure.
A road trip following the death of their mother leads a pair of sisters on a journey of discovery. Each holding on to her own version of their troubled mom. Makes me think of how different my relationship is with my two daughters and how my sisters each brought out different qualities in our mom. Even within the same family the lens which we view the world can be so vastly different.
The younger sister who sees words as music and "tastes" life, has grown blind from staring at the sun. She stubbornly wants to travel to spread moms ashes amidst the Glades where her moms long unfinished fairy tale is set. The older practical sister complies only after the insistence of her grandma and memories of her mom admonishing her to "take care of your sister." A surprise ending.
Written with lovely attention to detail and clearly drawn characters.
