I See You Everywhere

Zusatztext

<p><b>Louisa and Clem: two sisters who love each other more the further they move apart</b> <b></b> <b></b>Louisa is the elder one, the conscientious student, precise and careful, who yearns for a good marriage, a career, a family. Clem, the archetypal younger sibling, is the rebel: uncontainable, iconoclastic, committed to her work but not to the men who fall for her.</p><p>Alternating between their voices,<i>I See You Everywhere</i>opens when the sisters are in their early twenties and unfolds through their lives in a vivid, heart-rending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love. Their complex bond, Louisa observes, is 'like a double helix, two souls coiling around a common axis, joined yet never touching.'</p><p>Alive with the same sensual detail and riveting characterization that marks Julia Glass's previous novels,<i>I See You Everywhere</i>is a powerful and moving double portrait that reveals the very nature of sisterhood.</p>
