Courtney Angela Brkic's The First Rule of Swimming
This novel is the story of two sisters, Magdalena and Jadranka, from a small island off the coast of Croatia, and what happens when Jadranka goes to New York to stay with a cousin, finds out a FAMILY SECRET, and runs off. But really it's the story of their complicated family and how they've been affected the political turmoil in Croatia. And it's about small towns, and big cities, and love, and loss. I really liked this. A few things about Jadranka's journey are a bit over the top, but otherwise this was really lovely. A/A-.
