Four-year-old Laura lives in a world with short sentences and simple feelings, and thirteen-year-old Laura, who has had to broaden her vocabulary to help describe things to her blind sister, inhabits a text that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1028139">more...</a>]]></body>

Maybe I would have liked it more if I hadn't been viewing it through the eyes of a five year old--there was so much in it that she just didn't understand.
