Emily Cavanaugh’s The
Bloom Girls is a poignant and realistic family drama about love loss and
forgiving featuring three sisters with very different personalities. Take it
from the oldest of three sisters, this intuitive author does a bang up job with
these girls from the drifting apart the petty disagreements to the protective
loyalty and all the minutiae that goes on between siblings growing up and as
adults. The plot is powerful the dialogue conversational and every female
reader with sisters will be able to place herself in one of these sets of
shoes. Each sister has her strengths and weaknesses although Violet has a few
more flaws that her sisters and readers will find themselves wanting to thrash
her more than commiserate with her. I liked Susie the best but as the oldest
myself I associate more with Cal.
Narration:
Emily Sutton Smith does a fabulous job as the narrator with a clear accurate recounting and an outstanding Boston accent, pus the emotions she expresses when portraying the sisters is spot on. She also does a good job with the male voices.

The three Bloom sisters haven’t been close for a long time
but when their father dies suddenly they’re all forced together to deal with
arrangements and to deal (or not) with each other-
Calla Lilly, Callie the oldest an attorney and overachiever
the typical first borne who is married with two young daughters and the closest
with her father is wondering how she’s going to fit mourning and saying goodbye
into her incredibly busy schedule.
Middle child Violet has always been restless, always after
greener pastures than what’s in front of her has just broken up with the only
man she’s ever loved and has no idea if it’s a bad decision or a good one.
Youngest sister Suzie, a chef, like their father is trying
to figure out just who she is when she learns there maybe a mini Susie to care
for in nine months time. That is if she decides to keep it.

I would read this :)
ReplyDeleteit was good
DeleteWell I was going to say she is new to me but when I went to put in the Bloom Girls into my wish list at Audible there was already This Bright Beauty in there. Oh well it has now sunk in a little more! My kind of read.
ReplyDeleteha I know how that feels Kathryn. I listened to and reviewed My Bright Beauty earlier so when I saw this on sale at Amazon it was a no brainer :)
DeleteI don't read as many of these, but I love the stories of families like this. I've not tried her books yet, but looks like I've been missing out.
