A review by sariggs
The Desert Sky Before Us by Anne Valente

3.0

I liked that this book is about three very different women, and about how little we know our parents, and how different yet the same siblings can be. Little tidbits like what being the only woman race car driver or a woman paleontologist or hawk handler were fascinating, as were the small references to what it was like being gay in a small Midwest town. I didn’t always enjoy the repetitive whiny arguments the sisters had. I liked the settings a lot, since I’ve never been to any of their road trip stops, and don’t know much about bird or dinosaurs. I loved the very believable results of climate change in the book. The loss of air travel would be a huge blow to our way of life.
