“Her eyes were fixed on my face. “Men,” she said simply. “And women. Make mistakes. Blissful, dreadful mistakes. But more often than not, women pay the price.”
1933. A three-story tenement in a mill town west of Boston. In the third-floor apartment hangs a portrait of unforgettable beauty: Ada, a neighbor’s daughter, who disappeared years before. In the apartment below, two sisters-thoughtful, sensible Violet and gifted but fragile Glory-come of age unaware of how the missing Ada haunts their lives. As disease and poverty threaten their family, they are each other’s refuge. But as they reach adulthood, the fallout from a broken love affair-while unraveling the mystery of Ada-threatens their bond.
Narrated in turns by each of the sisters, Our Share of Morning reveals how contagion, misogyny, and a series of betrayals force Violet and Glory to face immutable loss. Poignant and poetic, the novel is a meditation on meaning, fate, forgiveness, and the fierce endurance of sisterly love.”
