Melissa M. (MemoRandom) reviewed on + 78 more book reviews
Remarkable first book by Ms Clarke. She obviously had a personal story to tell from those who lived through the era of the 1920's in Washington, D.C. Although the younger sister's drowning is pivotal to the story, it happens early on and the action revolves around the older sister, as she "comes of age". Well-drawn characters and evocative images of everyday life. If you like to read and reflect, you will enjoy "River, Cross my Heart".
