Call the Canaries Home: A Novel | Laura Barrow
3 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Three estranged sisters reconnect in their Louisiana hometown to face an unresolved past in a heartfelt novel about family, grief, secrets, and forgiveness. Savannah was four years old when her twin sister, Georgia, went missing from their small Louisiana town, fracturing their family. Twenty-eight years later, Savannah convinces her estranged older sisters, Rayanne and Sue Ellen, to honor the pact they made as children and retrieve the time capsule they buried in their old backyard. But coming home means confronting old ghosts...and their stubborn grandmother, Meemaw. Sifting through the artifacts, they come across a photograph taken on the day Georgia disappeared and spot a familiar woman lingering in the background. While Sue Ellen and Rayanne want to move on with their lives, Savannah is determined to find the woman--and perhaps a clue to the past. When old tensions, rivalries, and memories resurface, the sisters must reconsider what they thought they knew about that fateful day, about each other, and about themselves. On their search to uncover what happened to Georgia, each of them will discover what Meemaw has known all along: family is everything.

A book that has been wallowing on my Kindle for a while.

Three grown sisters get together to dig up a time capsule they buried as children.

The fact that their fourth sister disappeared years ago adds to the drama.

This was enjoyable enough, but probably won't stick with me.

A story of siblings. Three sisters. Family and all that entails. The ups and downs. The good and bad. Family dynamics. Love, loss, finding your way again. Understanding. Forgiveness. This book touches on so many things that families go through.

Review coming tomorrow as part of a blog tour. I will say it's a great debut.
I gave it five stars and highly recommend it.
