Seeing Emily is my all-time favorite novel. Any person (though usually female) of an race, religion, or age can relate to it in multiple ways. Beautifully written, with excellent imagery, you can tell this novel was first written in verse. Just wonderful, it took my breath away the first time, and still does. Joyce Lee Wong is inspiring.

Aline, thanks for the other title of novels-in-verse. I’ll have to check them out! Seeing Emily was my first taste of this kind of work in the YA reading category so it was definitely a new reading experience for me.

It’s interesting how we’re seeing more and more novels in verse: The Surrender Tree, Aleutian Sparrow… and all of them, including Seeing Emily, award-winning, too! I’ll try to get hold of this one. It sounds very good.
