And all year it seemed they had to make their way through an aching dark to get to a peaceful day time. "For a long time after, all them had this awful kind of hurt look, like it was their fault," writes Hamilton in her confiding, down-home narrative. It is now a year later, and the two surviving cousins (Cammy and Elodie) are grappling with their own grief and guilt over the drowning. In the previous book, Cammy's first cousin Patricia Ann died in a drowning accident while trying to rescue their cousin Elodie.
Seller Inventory # 36864īuilding upon her 1990 success, award-winning author Virginia Hamilton returns to the endearing main characters of Cousins. She also redeems her relationship with her mourning aunt (Patty Ann's mother) who helps her to realize that everyone is not perfect. Cammy eventually accepts her sister and realizes that adults are not human and they make mistakes. All of a sudden, Cammy becomes angered when she realizes that Jahnina is not her cousin but her father's second daughter through an afair with another woman. While Cammy is dealing with her cousins she also starts to wish that her divorced mom and dad will get back together. Cammy envy's Jahnina and wishes that she could be more like her with her city ways and computer skills. Cammy starts to feel betrayed because Elodie likes to be around Jahnina and Gigi. As Cammy and Elodie are learning to deal with the death of their cousin, Patty Ann, two new cousins come into the picture.
Although I am an adult, I really enjoyed this book. Hamilton conveys the eternal, unshakable love that binds family members together. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Fine in Fine DJ: Book shows binding square and secure text clean.
