Melina Marchetta's Jellicoe Road
Earlier tonight I was trying to read, but I was too sleepy to care about that book and wanted to read something familiar and satisfying. And as many times as I’ve read this book, and as sleepy as I was, I couldn’t put it down and read it all in one sitting! Totally heartbreaking book with a totally captivating narrative voice, telling the story of two generations of friendship and love and broken people trying to build and rebuild lives and families and homes. And somehow hopeful too? (I will note parts of this are unsettling and there are some uncool words thrown around by teen characters.)
