Book Overview

Three estranged sisters reconnect in their Louisiana hometown to face an unresolved past in a heartfelt novel about family, grief, secrets, and forgiveness.

Savannah was four years old when her twin sister, Georgia, went missing from their small Louisiana town, fracturing their family. Twenty-eight years later, Savannah convinces her estranged older sisters, Rayanne and Sue Ellen, to honor the pact they made as children and retrieve the time capsule they buried in their old backyard. But coming home means confronting old ghosts...and their stubborn grandmother, Meemaw.

Sifting through the artifacts, they come across a photograph taken on the day Georgia disappeared and spot a familiar woman lingering in the background. While Sue Ellen and Rayanne want to move on with their lives, Savannah is determined to find the woman--and perhaps a clue to the past.

When old tensions, rivalries, and memories resurface, the sisters must reconsider what they thought they knew about that fateful day, about each other, and about themselves. On their search to uncover what happened to Georgia, each of them will discover what Meemaw has known all along: family is everything.

CALL THE CANARIES HOME by Laura Barrow The synopsis leads you to believe this is a story of three sisters, Rayanne, Sue Ellen and Savannah, working together to find the truth about their youngest sister Georgia’s disappearance. This started out well enough, but somewhere along the way the plot focused more on the sisters’ strained relationships with each other and their MeeMaw. Where is the mystery? Where’s the suspense? I wanted to know what happened to Georgia, but nope everyone is too busy bickering with one another. The revelation at the end felt very anticlimactic and the “twist” was gimmicky. It would’ve been more interesting if Celia had taken Georgia and raised her as her own. Overall, too much emphasis on a soap opera style family drama and not enough attention to the actual (non)mystery. Rating: 2.5/5 ⭐️
