For
review:
Unbecoming, Jenny
Downham (hardback)
Three
women – three secrets – one heart-stopping story.
Katie,
seventeen, in love with someone whose identity she can't reveal.
Her
mother Caroline, uptight, worn out and about to find the past catching up with
her.
Katie’s
grandmother, Mary, back with the family after years of mysterious absence and ‘capable
of anything’, despite suffering from Alzheimer’s.
As
Katie cares for an elderly woman who brings daily chaos to her life, she finds
herself drawn to her. Rules get broken as allegiances shift. Is Mary
contagious? Is ‘badness’ genetic?
In
confronting the past, Katie is forced to seize the present. As Mary slowly
unravels and family secrets are revealed, Katie learns to live and finally
dares to love.
Funny,
sad, honest and wise, Unbecoming
is a celebration of life, and learning to
honour your own stories.
I’ve heard endless wonderful
things and I’m super excited. Thanks ED PR!
