Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
It has been some time since a book has brought out the emotions and feelings in me that I experienced when reading 'The Unmaking of June Farrow'. When I started reading I felt that this story was going to be huge and it didn't disappoint. I am in awe of the Adrienne Young's writing talent. She has perfectly created a complex world with overlapping timelines and deep characters without causing any sense of confusion for the reader. It is difficult to describe how stunning I found this story to be. I rarely become emotional when reading books or watching movies but the last quarter of this book had me laughing and crying. I grew to care deeply for June, Eamon, and Annie. Now that the story is over I feel a longing to return to Jasper and visit with the characters I grew to love.
The women in the Farrow family line suffer from a disturbing fate. They all eventually go mad. No one can explain what causes this infliction or when they will be impacted, they just know that each generation experiences the same curse. June Farrow's mother was taken by the madness prior to giving birth to June. She then left her baby behind to be raised by her grandmother while she disappeared for ever. Thirty-four years later, her grandmother has passed on, but she has left behind a number of mysterious clues that will lead June on a wild journey of discovery as to what really happened to her her mother and who June really is.
I am amazed by Adrienne Young's incredible story creation and whole heartedly recommend 'The Unmaking of June Farrow'.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
