2021 book 7

 Melina Marchetta’s The Piper's Son

Well, once I reread Saving Francesca, obviously I had to also reread its companion novel, which takes place a few years later, as the teens are now young semi-adults. This one focuses on Tom, one of the secondary characters from the first book, whose family is torn apart due to a recent tragedy. (His forty-something aunt, pregnant by an ex, is also a POV character.) I just really love these characters and love books about people struggling through hard times but coming out the other side. Lots of cathartic crying for me with this one.
