Beat the Turtle Drum

1994, Constance C. Greene

4.9/5

Beautiful story. But quite upsetting.Realistic YA Fiction.Also a movie.The plot concerns a family, with two sisters, Cate and Joss. They are more then sisters but also best friends.One day, Joss, the younger sister is killed in a tragic accident., shattering the family and leaving all of them but Cate in particular lost in grief an d questioning everything, including her own belief system.This book is brutally beautiful. I saw an other reviewer wrote that it "haunted her" and I feel the same way. It doesn't read lightly.But it is a deeply moving, superbly told story of love, loss and family that I think has and will resonate with readers. Four strong stars..
