About this listen
Acclaimed author Lois Lowry's first novel, A Summer to Die is a poignant and perceptive tale of love and tragedy.
Meg isn't thrilled when she gets stuck sharing a bedroom with her older sister Molly. The two of them couldn't be more different, and it's hard for Meg to hide her resentment of Molly's beauty and easy popularity. But now that the family has moved to a small house in the country, Meg has a lot to accept.
Just as the sisters begin to adjust to their new home, Meg feels that Molly is starting up again by being a real nuisance. But Molly's constant grouchiness, changing appearance, and other complaints are not just part of a new mood. And the day Molly is rushed to the hospital, Meg has to accept that there is something terribly wrong with her sister. That's the day Meg's world changes forever. Is it too late for Meg to show her true feelings?

A beautiful story
I first read this book 37 years ago, when I borrowed it from my local library. It was just as beautiful listening to it, as it was when I read it aged 15.

Really Rather Wonderful
My listening to this out of all the things on Audible and in my library was such a random chance, quite literally as I actually rolled dice as I wasn't sure what to read next, and I am so very glad that I did. I mistakenly assumed this was going to be a mediocre Audible Original (No shade, there are some bangers), not realising this was a novella from the seventies.
I'm going to try and write more of a review another time, but for now this was a heartfelt, joyous, imperfect, and a little too twee, but lovely story that really spoke the the little sad girl in me. This is a book I would never have read by choice and I would have missed out.

Sad book
Be ready, it is a sad book just as a tittle of it suggests… there is a will, there is a hope, there is a future…
