A review by mariags_00
Freya by Françoise Hardy, Anthony Quinn
4.0
Freya is not a perfect character; she is selfish and headstrong. She wants things done and expects other things, which she then doesn't apply to herself. However, Quinn makes her memorable and ambitious; she is hard-working, firm in her beliefs, and loyal to her loved ones. She is so human.
I loved how so many historical facts and events were thrown in; it is proper to what life in the 40s, 50s and 60s would have been. Moreover, Quinn's ability to encompass the mentality of the time is very well done because you can see their reasoning and how it makes sense for them.
My only downfall was the lack of relationship between Freya and Nancy; it was teased but ultimately no gayness there. Because of this, I was going to give it four stars, but I thought it was essential to show how it is. Some people are not gay, and friendship is all they can give you; this book shows that very well.
