Our Sister, Again by Sophie Cameron is a book that explorers grief in a really interesting way. Originally I just wanted to read it because of it's setting but the more I looked into it, the more I wanted to read it. Our Sister, Again us set in Scotland, more specifically in the Outer Hebrides - a stunning location, and the descriptions in this book were stunning. They really reflected that part of Scotland, that I love and you could tell the author does too. The other key thing that appealed to me about this book was the fact that it is set around three sisters, something again I am really interested by seeing as I am the oldest of three girls. The way that the sisters were portrayed along with their relationship, felt real to me and I could see my sisters in that dynamic and the way they acted around each other. It wasn't exact but then again no relationship and family are the same. Acting off of the sisters relationships, you then had the sisters themselves. The main character, Isla (a great Scottish name), was someone I could truly see myself in. I may be the oldest instead of the middle child but I could relate to her in ways that only people with two sisters can. There were definitely times that I couldn't completly relate to her as I have never lost a close family member - especially not one of my sisters, bit I could sympathise with her and understand her actions. Úna was probably the sister I related to and understood least but possibly my favourite. She felt so mature for her age and just made everything seem that bit better. I could also see parts of my relationships with my sisters in her relationship with Isla. There is a similar age gap between Úna and Isla, that is between me and my youngest sister, so I could clearly see parts of our relationship but there were difference's, that I really liked and found intriguing. Then I could see parts of mine and my other sisters relationship as we are almost as close as Isla and Úna are, and I think if anything that big was to happen to us we would end up being that close. I think seeing my really life relationships in this book was definitely my favourite part. Then we have Flora, and to be fair I don't have much to say about her. I may be the oldest like her, and again have seen parts of me in her but not enough for me to connect or have any serious feelings about her. There were many times though I forgot she wasn't human, which is now weird to think about. Isla I related to most, Úna least and Flora I don't know. Things I liked (as I've lost track) - • All the Scottish names and places mentioned - my name among that, I didn't know how weird it is to read about a character with the same name as me until this book. • The descriptions of the setting and landscape • The relationships between the sisters • How much I could relate to the characters and find similarities between us (I have loads to say about that) Do I recommend this book? Definitely, for sisters, Scots and those who just want to find a character to see themselves in.
