The Bird Sisters

The Bird Sisters, the debut novel by Rebecca Rasmussen, is about two sisters, Milly and Twiss, who are old now, but are remembering back to the summer when they were teenage girls in Wisconson in 1947. That was the summer their cousin Bett came to live with them and everything in their lives changed.

I wanted to like this novel more than I actually did.  It was lacking in plot and character development, and for some reason, it never fully drew me in. The writing was promising though, and I would be willing to try another novel by Rasmussen in the future.
