When I Had a Little Sister: The Story of a Farming Family Who Never Spoke

When I Had a Little Sister: The Story of a Farming Family Who Never Spoke | Catherine Simpson

so-so

This book is a combination of memorializing a younger sister who died from suicide and a look back at a shared family history. Using extensive journals her sister wrote from 12 until her death (at age 46) the author slowly & painfully retraces her sister‘s downward spiral with bipolar disease. More sad than informative, I think the author benefitted from writing this memoir but as a reader there was no take away for me. Just a very sad story.

Cinfhen Thanks for the book @TrishB It‘s definitely the type of book I “enjoy” reading but this one left me a little cold. It was missing the human touch I often need in reads of this nature. 5y

Cinfhen The author‘s tone was too matter of fact and felt emotionless 😣 5y

TrishB Definitely doesn‘t sound like my kind of read 😔 5y

TrishB Oh no 😢 I read a sad NF yesterday, it‘s ruined me....so much that my next book is now alternative history detective fiction! So not real. 5y
