It is the story of two sisters who are separated when most of the family emigrate, by necessity, from the Western Isles of Scotland in the 1850's. This beautiful novel in verse came out last year, and for the life of me I can't understand why it hasn't attracted more attention. Helen Frost set herself a difficult task when she decided to invent a poetic form that would "braid" together the stories of the two girls. The form never gets on the way of the story, however, and a fine, true story it is. If you haven't yet read it, you are in for a treat. Sally Derby
