The coming of age story of an award-winning translator, Homesick is about learning to love language in its many forms, healing through words, and the promises and perils of empathy and sisterhood.

Sisters Amy and Zoe grow up in Oklahoma, where they are homeschooled for an unexpected reason: Zoe suffers from debilitating and mysterious seizures, spending her childhood in hospitals as she undergoes surgeries. Meanwhile, Amy flourishes intellectually, showing an innate ability to glean a world beyond the troubles in her home life, exploring that world through languages first. Amy’s first love appears in the form of her Russian tutor Sasha, but when she enters university at the age of 15, her life changes drastically and with tragic results.

The main character was an extremely intelligent, complex person. The book made me feel as if I knew her from being a child to becoming an adult. I felt very involved with her and found the experience worthwhile.
I don't know which of the narrators was Jennifer Croft but I enjoyed the narrative reading, whereas I felt the reader who described the photos had a voice that was not so strong.

I felt that I got to know Amy, the main character from being a small child to adulthood.

Really enjoyed the story & writing but the vocal performance switches between narrators which is confusing & distracting more than evocative. Would be more effective & less jarring if one narrator just used different inflections.

Confusing voice performances
