faydrastratton 's review for:
I See You Everywhere
by Julia Glass
A long time ago I picked up and then quickly put back down Three Junes also by Glass. Just couldn't get into it. When I saw I see You Everywhere for cheap at a yard sale I figured I'd give the author another go. Now I know, no more Julia Glass novels for me.
The stars are for some sections of the prose and the first section - I loved that old aunt. At first, I was excited to read a novel about one sister, Louisa, becoming unclenched (she is so unreasonably angry and edgy when we meet her) in spite of, or because of, her relationship with her free-spirited sister, Clem.
That's not the book I got.
Each section was almost like a short story. Each section jumped to such a new time that you had to reorient yourself as if beginning a new story. And with this structure there was no systematic unraveling and the reconstructing of Louisa as I'd hoped - just a bunch of jumping around a few mile markers in her life such that I really didn't care, or ever get emotionally invested.
