faryewing's review against another edition
5.0
Having read Janis Owens’ first novel, I could barely wait for the follow-up. It was well worth my wait.
In her second novel, a companion to My Brother Michael, she tells the same story from the point of view of a different character. I was impressed by the skill with which she accomplished this without a hint of redundancy. Myra Sims, with her intriguing combination of strength and vulnerability, is a character well worth the closer look we get in this book, which fills in all the blanks left by Gabriel Catts.
A story of tragedy and victory set in a rural south so familiar I felt like I was home, Myra Sims, is an enthralling read. If you read and enjoyed My Brother Michael, I dare to say that you will enjoy Myra Sims even more. If you haven’t, then I suggest you add both to your reading list today.
