review 1: I took two weeks to read this story, about Clem (loved that shortened name for Clement) and Louisa, where we hear alternatively from each sister, from their adolescence to their thirties. I wasn't really liking the change of voice as it was confusing to me, but this ended up being a small issue compared to my general dislike of the book. The whole way along, I was trying to feel a closeness to the two sisters, but I was consistently thinking to myself 'they're trying to tell me something, trying to get their stories across to me, but I don't know what it is', I just couldn't grasp it. I wasn't connected to them in the slightest, I wasn't enjoying them, while I felt they weren't entirely unlikeable, they just were bland, flat, without any substance. Toward the end a charact... moreer surfaced again, I couldn't even remember his first appearance, or maybe that was because it took me so long to read?! I think many readers would have given up if they had the same interest level as me, but one of my foibles is to finish, I just have to. Julia Glass was able to develop characters well enough, plot was ok, but I just wasn't captured. I don't know how these sisters saw each other 'everywhere', I couldn't find them at all!
review 2: I chose this book because I enjoyed three others by the same author. This is a tale of two sisters. At first, I liked reading about their adventures, both together and separately. But the story got very depressing very quickly. The ending is the worst part because it left me with more questions than answers. I hope The Widower's Tale is better than this one. It is the only book by Julia Glass that I haven't read. less
