Praise for Three Junes:

'Three Junes almost threatens to burst with all the life it contains. Glass's ability to locate the immense within the particular, and to simultaneously illuminate and deepen the mysteries of her characters' lives, would be marvellous in any novelist. In a first-time novelist, it's extraordinary.' Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

'A highly accomplished and sensitive novel, all the more remarkable for being Julia Glass's first.' Sunday Telegraph

'Glass seems to relish depicting her characters struggles and confusion, after which she skilfully negotiates them through the emotional wilderness as they live, love and grieve. The result is an impressive and moving debut. It's a great read, and yes, the accolades are deserved.' Time Out

Aus dem Klappentext

Louisa and Clem: two sisters who love each other more the further they move apart

Louisa Jardine is the elder one, the conscientious student, precise and careful, who yearns for a good marriage, a career in the arts, a family. Clem, the archetypal younger sibling, is the rebel: uncontainable, iconoclastic,

committed to her work but not to the men who fall for her.

Alternating between their voices, I See You Everywhere opens when the sisters are in their early twenties, still in the throes of mutual teenage wariness, and unfolds through their lives in a vivid, heart-rending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love. Louisa settles in New York while Clem, a wildlife biologist, moves restlessly about until she lands in the Rocky Mountains. Their complex bond, Louisa observes, is "like a double helix, two souls coiling around a common axis, joined yet never touching."

Alive with the same sensual detail and riveting

characterization that marks Julia Glass's previous novels, I See You Everywhere is a powerful and moving double portrait that reveals the very nature of sisterhood.
