The Year We Left Home by Jean Thompson

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. The book starts in the year 1973 and ends in 2003. I liked the author's style of having the chapters jump every 2-4 years and join the characters lives at that point. I could relate to the time frame of the book, since I also lived it and it was interesting how the author incorporated current events into her characters stories. The Year We Left Home is a part of life that we all go through but then it all comes around again when we realize what is important to us and we return home. This book is a story about that journey.
