Three Junes
Julia Glass
"I read Three Junes because it was a National Book Award winner in 2002, and it's really deserving of that award. It has two stories; one is set in 1989, and then one is set in 1999, and it follows the path of a nucleic family, a father and a mother, and I believe that they're British. Then it goes a little bit later and follows the lives of the sons.
It's really a book about relationships - family relationships, close relationships, very deep friendships, lovers. I read this book a long time ago, and it still has stuck with me; and I think that's when writing becomes really powerful, when you remember characters.
I loved this book. I thought it was amazing, and I - it was beautifully written, and it's a modern book, and it's set in modern times, and it's just - a lot of the times when you get modern books with modern topics, they're not as well written; and this one is just absolutely stunning. I think it really can appeal to a wide variety of people because I think we all have relationships and all have difficulty and joys in those relationships. I'd give it a five-star rating, absolutely."
