sarahsbookstack 's review for:
Geographies of the Heart
by Caitlin Hamilton Summie
emotional
sad
slow-paced
This is a quietly written (no big drawn out dramas) and beautiful story about family, loss, love, kindness and more.
I love when at the heart of a story it's about sisters. I have many of my own and we are close but different as night and day.
Sarah and Glennie are that way. They love each other but grow apart at some point and struggle to maintain a close relationship.
I cried when the sisters grandparents passed as each of my Grandpa's deaths are brought back to the surface of my mind and how much I miss them.
I love the family quilt that is passed down. I love that at one point, Sarah wants to write down family history in stories and her Grandma doesn't want to have her sister written in. I think it's very important for all family history, no matter how messy, to be passed down.
