The following books are available at the Portales Public Library:
I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass. Told in their alternating voices over 25 years, “I See You Everywhere” is an intimate tale of two sisters together and apart. The older one, Louisa Jardine, is conscientious, precise and careful. She yearns for an artistic career, a good marriage and a family. Clem is the typical youngest: a rebel, uncontainable, an individualist and uncommitted. Louisa resents that Clem has always been the favorite and Clem resents Louisa’s perfectionism.
In this story of what we can and cannot do for those we love, the sisters grow closer as they move farther apart. Louisa settles in New York, and Clem moves restlessly about until she lands in the Rocky Mountains. As Louisa observes, their complex bond is “like a double helix, two souls coiling around a common axis, joined yet never touching.” This novel is a candid story of life and death, sorrow and companionship, and the nature of sisterhood.
