book 104

julia glass' three junes
this was awesome airplane reading--actually, it was awesome anytime, anywhere reading. told in three parts with three different focal characters who are all somehow related to each other, it gradually unfolds a picture of a family who have their share of misunderstandings and issues, but who ultimately love each other. not to make it sound sappy, b/c it certainly isn't--it's very funny and more than a little dark, but ultimately comes full circle, and i like when things come full circle.

I read this by chance last summer (was in Vermont and had finished all the books I brought with me) -- what an amazing book. I thought about it for weeks after, even made an outline to be able to see how she structured it (alternating tenses and POVs). She is supposedly working on a 2nd novel now. --JohnM@SILS
