(1) 4-6 In carefully focused episodes, five turn-of-the-twentieth-century sisters reveal their characters, exemplify a well-to-do southern lifestyle, and encounter birth and death. Accessible language, open format, and twenty-six short chapters keyed to the alphabet rightly suggest this novel as appropriate for young children; yet it is so adroitly structured and rich in characters and ideas that it will reward older readers as well. This is Byars at her best.
