Sisters by a River

 

I wanted to read a book by an obscure female writer from the 1940s and I like Virago's selections. This book was just ok. It's about a family and it's told from the perspective of a child and the misspelling throughout the book adds to that age. It could have been better. I didn't feel like I got to know the sisters really individually. It wasn't like Little Women where I felt like I got to know the people. The personalities were kept kind of vague.  Still, this isn't the last book I'm reading that Virago published. The thought of discovering forgotten female writers from the past is too appealing to me.
