Elisabeth visste att hon, liksom Bibelns Esau, var den äldre tvillingen som ingen brydde sig om. Hennes själviska tvillingsyster Caroline stal allas hjärtan.

Systrarna växer upp på en liten ö utanför Marylands kust vid tiden för andra världskriget, och Elisabeth märker till sin förtvivlan hur Caroline tar ifrån henne allt: hennes drömmar om utbildning, hennes vänner, hennes mor, till och med hennes eget namn. Medan alla pjoskar med Caroline börjar Bitte (så kallar systern henne) lära sig fiskaryrket och tränga in i öns hemligheter. Det är slutligen kriget som ger den självständiga Elisabeth en oväntad chans att uppfylla sin barndomsdröm: att få fiska tillsammans med fadern. Men hon är på väg att bli kvinna och upptäcker snart att drömmen är otillräcklig. I sin ensamhet och förvirring börjar Elisabeth kämpa sig fram till en plats, dit Caroline inte kan nå.

I "Se bergen.." har Katherine Paterson valt en föga omskriven trakt till bakgrundsmiljö för sin moderna version av den gamla berättelsen om en äldre tvillings förlorade förstfödslorätt.

4.0 JACOB HAVE I LOVED by KATHERINE PATERSON

What I enjoyed the most is they didn't turn Sara Louise into this sweet person because of growth, she still snaps at people, she doesn't just get as angry. I also liked that Caroline wasn't where she ended up to r...

I read this when I was a kid and too young to really get it. Rediscovered it through its essay in Shelf Discovery, and reread it in a day.Do they even write books like this anymore? Books that describe so achingly what it is to come of age, to love and hate and rage against the world. It reminded me...

5.0 Jacob Have I Loved
Remember this book being quite profound when I read it at the age of 7. Not mention my last name was Jacobs and I thought it was a sign. Also, just the quote from the Bible: "Jacob Have I loved, Esau Have I Hated" (or something to that affect).Having a younger sister who I felt was the Jacob and I t...

Caroline is beautiful, musically gifted, and good; she is the shining star of a small town on the water. The story is told by her twin sister Louise, who is almost sick with jealousy and longing. Louise is not a flawless person, but I loved her just the same: her work-roughened hands, her terrible...

I haven't read this book since high school, so I have no idea whether it would still stand the test of time. I know that from the time I got until the time I outgrew it, I read it every single year. It was one of the few books with a central female character that I could id with. It is particular...
