Most characters in Blume books have relatively normal names: Margaret, Sally, Peter. Sure, there are a few exceptions — Fudge comes to mind — but for the most part, the author's chosen names are never the most memorable part of her books. Not Summer Sisters , though. During the course of the novel, we meet Vix, Tawny, Sharky, Lamb, Von, and a littl...
When Vix first meets Caitlin that day in 6th grade, it's eerily reminiscent to the fateful meeting of another female literary duo, Beaches'C.C. and Hillary. Vix, of course, is Hillary, the shy daughter of a disapproving parent who found herself wowed by a colorful, exciting peer. In general, the two books only share a few broad similarities — lifel...
Phoebe, Caitlin's mother, is not the villain in the story. In fact, she's not even close; in a large ensemble, she's a small character, only garnering a mention every hundred pages or so. Yet whenever Phoebe does come up, it's never for a good reason. A pre-teen Caitlin boasts with pride that Phoebe "loves having summers off from being a mother," a...
It's easy to forget, like I did, that Summer Sisters isn't just about figuring out friendships and the beauty of Martha's Vineyard in July. Much of the novel is actually quite sad, whether it be Nathan's death, Lanie's pregnancy, or Caitlin's gay friends' succumbing to AIDS. In one scene, Vix listens quietly as a terrified Caitlin begs her to make ...
Blume has never been one to shy away from sexuality in her novels, and Summer Sisters is about as explicit as they come. Vix and Caitlin's use of their "Powers" is the scene most people remember, but there's also Vix's romance with Bru, Caitlin's descriptions of her adventures in Europe, even Aunt Dorset's musings about vibrators and Von. With all ...
From the very first page, Summer Sistersmakes it clear that Caitlin is dirty, and not just in the sex-related definition. Greeting Vix in the airport, a 20-something Caitlin is "barefoot as usual;" as a pre-teen, Caitlin spends a summer hardly washing her underwear, let alone changing it. "Vix told Caitlin if she didn't start wearing clean underpan...
Seeing as I read Summer Sistersas a teenager in 2008, I can't speak for this one myself, but I'm sure it applies to plenty of others. The novel takes place over the course of nearly 20 years, from the late '70s to the mid-'90s. Along the way, there are references to Abba, Geraldine Ferraro, the explosion of the Challenger, and the beginning of the ...
The novelopens with, and later returns to, Caitlin informing Vix that she's marrying Vix's ex-boyfriend, and wants Vix to be the maid of honor. Not bad enough? The ceremony is held on Vix's 25th birthday, she's forced to hear all about how "sorry" everyone is that she has to be there, and she makes the biggest mistake of her life by sleeping with t...
Before Inception, there was Summer Sisters . How will we never know whether Caitlin accidentally drowned, committed suicide, or orchestrated her own disappearance? Yes, it's a fitting end for the novel, and yes, it's all wonderfully done, but couldn't Blume just slip in a teeny, tiny answer next time she gives an interview? It'd give a lot of us (m...
Look, don't get me wrong, I love Tiger Eyes. But of all of Blume's books, why is that the only one to ever have gotten made into a movie? That can't be right, you think. Certainly, there has to have been someone out there who was smart enough to at least adapt Summer Sisters , with its history-bound plot, expanse of characters, and relatable themes...
