From the Lighthouse

Rating:
Summary: a unique coming-of-age story
Review: Weezie and her brothers all go through quite a growth and maturation process in the span of just a year, as they all have to adjust to the knowledge that not only has their mother left them, but that she is not coming back.
I enjoyed this book for several reasons, one of which is the descriptive and elegant writing style, which is fitting for a setting as lovely as the Hudson River as nature changes it from one season to the next. I also appreciated the growing understanding in Weezie that her father is a devoted, loving parent who will always be there for his children no matter what.
