From the author of the best-selling Three Junes comes an intimate new work of fiction: a tale of two sisters, together and apart, told in their alternating voices over twenty-five years.

Louisa Jardine is the older one, the conscientious student, precise and careful: the one who years for a good marriage, an artistic career, a family. Clem, the archetypal youngest, is the rebel: uncontainable, iconoclastic, committed to her work but not to the men who fall for her daring nature. Louisa resents that the charismatic Clem has always been the favorite; yet as Clem puts it, “On the other side of the fence–mine–every expectation you fulfill . . . puts you one stop closer to that Grand Canyon rim from which you could one day rule the world–or plummet in very grand style.”

In this vivid, heartrending story of what we can and cannot do for those we love, the sisters grow closer as they move farther apart. Louis 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 all the sensual detail and riveting characterization that mark Glass’s previous work, I See You Everywhere is a piercingly candid story of life and death, companionship and sorrow, and the nature of sisterhood itself. Literary Fiction Fiction Women's Fiction Genre Fiction Heartfelt

Critic reviews

Praise for The Whole World Over
“[Glass’s] second novel is even finer than her first . . . [Her] characters are enticingly complex, their predicaments are provocative and significant . . . Her love for animals, feel for landscape, and ardor for language itself feed the freshness, sensuousness, and compassion that make this such a nourishing and pleasurable read.”
–Chicago Tribune

“Beautiful and satisfying, chock-full of the gorgeous, heartbreaking stuff that makes life worth living.”
–Rocky Mountain News

“Gorgeous . . . [A] delicious, delightful, and deeply satisfying tale of domestic choices . . . Glass never shies away from complexity.”
–New Orleans Times-Picayune

Praise for Three Junes
“Enormously accomplished . . .Rich, absorbing, and full of life.”
—The New Yorker

“A warm, wise debut . . . Three Junes marks a blessed event for readers of literary fiction everywhere.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Three Junes brilliantly rescues, then refurbishes, the traditional plot–driven novel . . . Glass has written a generous book about family expectations—but also about happiness.”
—The New York Times Book Review

Didn't care for the narration. Julia Glass needs to stick to writing. Book was fine. Sibling rivalry - I just can't relate.

I heard an excerpt of this book on "book radio" on satelite, and I needed to heart it from the beginning. I laughed and cried many times during this listen. Well worth it.

It was a fascinating story. Leaving many questions unanswered as they should be, but giving a very realistic view of an often untold event.

This one gets a "D". Dismal. Dull. Disappointing.

Two aging hippie women blab on through the decades.

This book is all dialogue. I read to escape dialogue.

You can just hear the caramel lattes, tiramisu and
locally grown vegetables ooze through the
voices of these women.

No thanks.

Is this the same Julia Glass?

I don't often feel compelled to write a review, but since Audiobooks recommended this one to me(presumably based upon the previous books I've read), I feel that I must expound a bit about how this book goes nowhere. If you like your reader to read to you, using a "Valley Girl" accent, tinged throughout with a hint of sarcasm, then this is the read for you. I don't think the author really intended that kind of "voice" for the main characters (two sisters), though the entire story strikes me as a shallow romance, presented in the form of these two sisters commenting upon and analyzing each other's every move, mood and intent. Funny thing, I've never ordered shallow romances before! I only made it through 4.5 hours.
