A Sister's Sorrow is an emotional historical novel. Sarah Jepson lives with her alcoholic mother in Battersea in 1948. She is fourteen and is still attending school. That changes when her mother gives birth to Tommy. Sarah refuses to "get rid" of Tommy as her mother demands. She drops out of school to care for her brother and scrabbles to provide for both of them. Four years later, they are forced to survive on their own. Sarah gets help from the kindhearted George and falls for the love-them-and-leave-them, Roger. We follow on her journey with its various ups and downs. The story progresses at a gentle pace. I thought the author captured the era and what it was like to be poor in Battersea. It was a hardscrabble life especially when you have little education. I did feel the story was a little too long and there is some foul language. A Sister's Sorrow is a touching story that will play on your emotions. Tommy's fate will have you reaching for a tissue especially since he is such a sweet little boy. I loved the ending of A Sister's Sorrow. A Sister's Sorrow is a gritty, historical saga that will linger with you long after you finish it.
