    About this audiobook

    THE FIRST TIME ANA TORRES C A M E B AC K A S A G H O S T, HER SISTERS WEREN’T THERE.

    A year later, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, still consumed by grief and haunted by Ana’s memory, start
    noticing strange things around the house: laughter without a voice, shadows cast by nothing,
    writing on the walls. None of them have seen Ana, but they know she’s trying to send them a
    message—or maybe it’s a warning.

    In a stunning follow-up to her National Book Award–longlisted novel All the Wind in the World,
    Samantha Mabry weaves a magical, romantic tale about ferocious sisterhood.

      This book centers on the four Torres sisters and the story is all about their relationships with each other and with their terrible father. As they are teens there is also some aspect of romantic interests including an abusive boyfriend. We learn right at the beginning that the eldest sister Ana has died in a tragic accident and we get to know her through flashbacks, memories and through her ghost which haunts the Torres house. She's not really a frightening spirit and it seems like she haunts her sisters more metaphorically than substantially, although she does have several moments of having a direct effect on the living world. The three remaining sisters deal with their grief in very different ways and their mourning is the heart of the book. I found it to be a melancholy and haunting tale (pun intended.) It's a story in which not very much happens but it somehow grabs you by the heartstrings and pulls you in. The narration was very good. It's a story that works well in audio and it was a quick, engaging listen.

      There were so many parts of this book I liked, and so many I did not. Something I loved was the absolute acceptance that a ghost is definitely part of the story: no one questions it at all. Something I did not like was that a story about 4 sisters involved Point-of-View outsider male chapters, and the audio narrator was a man. Why? For real.

      There are some high points in this ghost/haunting story, but overall it was not my favorite. I do like some of the characterization, particularly regarding Rosa, but overall I wasn't blown away.

      Dark, haunting, and ethereal - this young adult novel chronicling the Torres' sisters and the aftermath of their oldest sister's death is chilling and powerful. A year after Ana falls out her window to her death; her three sisters cope with it in different ways. Jessica the now oldest, deals with it by slowly trying to turn into Ana. She wears her clothes and makeup, tries to pick up smoking, and even dates the same boy that Ana had been sneaking off with in the night. Iridian has turned into a total recluse and barely leaves her room let alone the house. She re-reads all of Ana's old books and is trying to drown her sorrows in her writing. Rosa, the youngest tries to talk to the neighborhood animals, finding peace in nature and in church. Their father, well their father is useless; a shell of a man. A year after Ana's death - her ghost inexplicably starts inhabiting the house and the week following her "return" is one that will turn the girls lives upside down. Magical realism at its best!

      Readers will be haunted by the lyrical prose and the Torres sisters' brooding hearts. The girls and father Rafe struggle with their grief a year after the death of older sister Ana. Their torment is common knowledge; all the neighbors seem to know and closely observe the Torreses including the boys who hang out in Hector's room across the street. Now it seems Ana's ghost is present, in writing on the wall and the sound of her laugh. The story glides like a ghost, mysterious and melancholy.
