We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

by Kay Fowler

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Kay Fowler is a great read. The narrator is funny, serious, introspective, and wounded as she tells the story of her family from Bloomington, Indiana. But what a family. Rosemary starts the story "in the middle" as she say, and takes the reader back and forth as she reveals what happened to her "sister" Fern and her brother Lowell. A great cast of characters, human and otherwise. I will be thinking about this novel for a long time.
