"We have the capacity
to be cruel, if we let the pain consume us"
I loved this book. It is written so well. I've never read a book written this way before.
Points of view of two sisters who are grieving after losing their mother. It is very sad.

so-soYA novel in verse: grief consumes 2 sisters as if they are frozen in that moment of the loss of their mother. They drift apart, unable to see any hope until the older sister runs off on a snowy night...
panA story in verse, Turtle Under Ice tells the story of two sisters struggling with grief, old and new. I found this book very heavy, it kept constantly repeating themes and many times, seemed to be trying way too hard to be poetic.
“In the aftermath of death, those of us who survive
have little preparation for what we‘re actually supposed to do
with our lives from that point forward.”
Have you read this book? A book from the points of view of the two daughters whose mother dies and their way of dealing with the grief. Tough subject. Beautifully written.
pickRowena feels as if her family is a frayed string of lights that someone needs to fix with electrical tape. She and her sister Arianna drifted into their own corners of the world, each figuring out in their own separate ways how to exist in a world in which their mother is no longer alive.
