The story of little Starling family sounds interesting. I'm curious to find about the girls' father's disappearance. Thanks for the great review.

It is sad how their mother passes, and I am curious as to what happened with the father. Overall, it sounds as though there are lessons young adults can learn from.

A lovely coming of the age storybook "Bugs, Weeds, and Water" by Evangeline Greene, which follows Aunt Flory, who handles the 'guardian' role in raising her sister's children surprisingly well. The story looks appealing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I might not have this book purchased due to some petty reasons ( not because of the book cause ) but reading the review made me to understand some few points about family bonding and nature loving. Those are my thing. And it gives me a huge interest in reading this book. The author is the BEST! :techie-studyingbrown:

Aunt Flory taking care of her sister's children is heartwarming. I look forward to seeing how this little family forms close bonds with the help of her friends. This book seems like it would be a great read. Congrats on BOTD.

It's heartening to see the selflessness with which Aunt Flory took up the responsibility of raising her 3 nieces, and I hope the 3 girls will turn out to be excellent individuals.

I must say I am really impressed with this book,the way the tells the story, it's breath taking, I feel so connected to the story while reading the book, it's a about nature,about life ,the fact that the aunt was determined despite all the challenges she face of Raising 3 kids ,that's not hers and love them, and treat them as if they were her own,,it's a very wonderful book

:techie-studyinggray: Love this book because it focuses so much on the importance of sisterhood and family. The story is about the triplets who are raised by their aunt, who despite the fact that she is raising them alone because her sister died and the whereabouts of the girls' father is unknown. She gave the girls a very good upbringing, in which their neighbors also intervene a little, who are a good example for the triplets. I also like the book and I recommend it because it gives a lot of importance to nature and good manners.

Thank you for the review! My interest was not piqued by the plot. Although I appreciate coming-of-age storylines, this one did not particularly captivate me. I doubt I'd be interested in reading it.

She is training the girls with help from her few friends. Since their father's whereabouts are unknown. Circumstance never seizes to weigh on the balance, this is interesting and much of a lesson for one to learn.

Bugs, weeds and water
The story is well written taking into account family ties and values. I really like such plots of stories. The bond between the sisters is very well portrayed. It is relaxing reading this story and you are keen to know what will happen next. Totally recommended!!
