Still Life with Tornado by A.S. King
3.0
Sarah is an artist - but suddenly she can't even draw simple things anymore. She stops going to school. There are several versions of herself also wandering around Philadelphia - the 10-year old Sarah who clearly remembers the family vacation to Mexico that seemed to change things for their family, 23-year-old Sarah who is quite snarky and always carries an umbrella, and 40-year old Sarah who encourages 16-year-old Sarah to tell the truth.
A well written account of an existential crisis and a dysfunctional family.
Every once in a while there is a chapter from Mom's point-of-view, but it is disconcerting and hard to follow since it is only occasional and you have to pay close attention to chapter titles in order to catch on before you start reading.
For higher level thinkers and readers.
