Unbecoming by Jenny Downham
5.0
I loved this book, and wish I knew of more like it. Seeing the three women from different generations and their struggles was really interesting, and I got wrapped up in the story. It did take me a little bit of time to get into it, but before long I was incredibly invested in Mary, Caroline and Katie.
Mary has forgotten most of her past, and bit by bit her story becomes more complete. Not without the help of Katie, who tries to find out about her family's history, as she has never known much about her family. In between them is Caroline, who is trying to forget and ignore the past. Unhappy about the circumstances of her mother coming to live with them, she poses the biggest obstacle in Katie getting to the truth. But in the end, she plays an as important role as the other two in completing the story.
All in all, a fascinating book. If you like family dramas and don't mind a bit of a slower read, I would really recommend this one.
