Not only did this contemporary fiction novel's title and vibrant cover grab my attention, but I remained interested all the way through the read.
Granted, greens don't play much of an actual role in this story. I think a title like Sisters with Seasoning or something in that vein would've had more meaning. Especially given that the pair of sisters in this novel are women of a certain age.
In any case, this story has some kick to it with flavorful dashes of humor and sass. And the thoughtful, gradual approach to Rose and Marvina's conflict gave me space to feel for them, to care about their fears and hurts as well as their dreams and joys. By the time the sisters' central matter began coming to a head, rather than feeling tired of the two of them for being at odds, I was pulling for them to reach a resolution.
I especially liked that I couldn't tell ahead of time exactly what the resolution would be.
On a different note, regarding the messed-up behavior of the leadership at Marvina's church: It would take more in a story to really deal with issues like that. They're reflections of deeper, widespread problems damaging real people in the church, and on that score, the sudden, partial smoothing-over toward the end of this novel is like a bandage smoothed over a scratched area of skin while a tumor lies beneath the surface. Unfortunately, that's also a reflection of the case in too many churches, so Marvina's "bandaged up" situation wasn't a good look to me. Didn't leave me hopeful.
Aside from that issue, I loved this novel.… (altro)
