desertcart.com: Jacob Have I Loved: A Newbery Medal Winner―A Compelling Young Adult Classic about Individuality, Dreams, and Overcoming Family Expectations―An Engaging Summer Read for Young Adults: 9780064403689: Paterson, Katherine: Books

Review: Excellent book - my HS guidance counselor recommended it to me 30 years ago - This is a really powerful book. The story line is engaging; the setting and characters are fully is 3-dimensional. It is told "in real time" but by the narrator looking back on her early teenage years. It is also clear that she misinterprets or filters events through her pain. In short, it is a story of the extraordinary damage sibling favortism by parents does to a child, who carries it forever into adulthood, but it also is a story of how the central figure made her own life out of the scraps her family gave her. It is more uplifting than my review makes it sound, and more interesting for the details of her life that would be worth reading even without the sibling rivalry theme running throughout. I highly recommend the book.
Review: A masterpiece - In seventh grade, we used to read books and take quizzes about them on the computer. I saw other students reading this and always assumed it was an archaic romance between a girl and a character named Jacob. I first read it as an adult when I decided to read Newbery books and found it completely compelling. I read it again every several years and it never fails to be as profound and moving as it first was. Honestly, I wish the main character had followed her initial career plan. The writing is so good and exquisite and Moira Kelly’s narration is flawless. I can’t recommend the audio version more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bittersweet coming-of-age story
*by K***R on February 22, 2019*

I read this book a number of years ago. I enjoyed it just as much now as I did before, but have a couple misgivings. This story is set in the 1940's, and follows the teen years and early adult years of Sara Louise Bradshaw. Sara Louise has grown up in the shadow of her fraternal twin sister Caroline, who is beautiful, gregarious, and musically talented. The family lives in a small island community in the Chesapeake Bay. Caroline is extremely popular in this setting, and Sara Louise feels less-than. Their parents are kind, loving and understanding, if not a little passive. The difficulty is that the girl's paternal grandmother lives with them. Grandma is caustic, bitter, mean-spirited and just hateful. Growing up with her would give anyone psychological issues! I can't understand why these nice parents allow this cruel woman to live in their home and harrass everyone. There are very few boundaries. This is evidenced not only by their grandmother's free reign, but also Caroline's take-over ways. She has been allowed to ride roughshod over Sara Louise, and this continues throughout the book. Caroline gets her way constantly, often at Sara Louise's expense. She horns in on Sara Louise's friendships and plans. Meanwhile, Grandma grows crazier as the years pass. She begins to compare the twins to Jacob and Esau in the Bible, implying that Caroline is the chosen one, and Sara Louise is hated by God. This causes Sara-Louise to turn her back on God and her faith. She grows up to discover that her parents do value her, and that she has been the one holding herself back. She goes to college, becomes a nurse, marries, and settles in the Appalachia mountains. She is happy in her life, and has made peace with her past. Sadly, the only part of it she doesn't make peace with is God. That was a disappointment. I'm not sure if the author was trying to give a message against faith. The book demonstrates a strong knowledge of both Catholic and Protestant beliefs. I dislike how the grandmother knows the Bible so well, but uses it as a weapon. Still an enjoyable read.
