On the cover of this novel is a quote by Sara Gruen, the author of Water for Elephants, which of course is one of my favorites! That alone gave me reason to read Whistling in the Dark, and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered a handful of books from amazon.com, based on recommendations on the site. I really liked 4 of them, this being one.
It’s a sweet story of two sisters, one fearless and smart as a whip named Troo, and her older sister Sally who is fiercely protective of her sister, while not quite as fearless but extremely observant. The story has a bit of a mystery wrapped in it, which carries the plot, but I just fell in love with the characters.
I read this in less than week, always an indicator of a good story.
