Publishers Weekly Review 10.28.2019 Irish twins navigate late-1940s Minnesota and their turbulent relationship in debut author Welch’s genuine story of family loyalty, misfortune, and potential. Born 11 months apart, plain and traditional Shannon Malone competes with, and is often bossed around by, her younger, more beautiful, and overachieving sister, Eliza. At 18, Shannon is quarantined in the hospital with tuberculosis, where she bonds with the women of her ward over being survivors. Meanwhile, Eliza, the pride of her professor father, enters college and begins dating the young David Whitaker. After Eliza is brutally raped by David’s cousin and becomes pregnant, she is destined for the Catholic Maternity Home for unwed mothers. Putting the baby up for adoption, Eliza is determined to further her academics with encouragement from Mrs. Perkins, a prominent government administrator. Once Shannon is released from the hospital, she finds new meaning in her life when she connects with Eliza’s daughter, Miriam. Welch steadily traces the two young women’s desire to forge their own lives, often hindered by shame, silence, guilt, and the stifling confines of societal expectations. Readers will be inspired by Shannon and Eliza’s persistence and heart. (Self-published) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
No love is as safe as that of an inseparable sister; no hurt as deep as when she leaves without a trace. St. Paul, MN, 1946: As little girls, the Malone sisters relied on each other for companionship and affection as their mother remained distant, beating back the demons of her own mysterious childhood. Now young women, the closely-knit sisters endure separate tragedies that threaten to tear them apart. Diagnosed with tuberculosis, Shannon undergoes a life-saving hysterectomy while Eliza suffers a shameful, unexplained pregnancy. Eliza delivers and relinquishes a baby girl, and quickly leaves home--perhaps forever--taking her secrets with her. Broken-hearted, Shannon vows to hold onto the invisible thread of sisterhood, certain it will eventually bring Eliza back. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I usually enjoy books about sisters/relationships but this one was just okay and got monotonous after a while between the estrangement for many reasons between them and the whole family.
It started in the 40s and ended in the 60s. ( )
