A review by shelleyann01
Mum & Dad by Joanna Trollope

4.0

Mum and Dad is a beautiful and intelligently written generational saga set in rural Spain. The writing is fantastic with description that I can only explain as gently comprehensive. The book just flows in a way that feels comforting, despite the tense moments in the narrative. I loved the characters Joanna Trollope created so very much. They were incredibly full-bodied and just felt so tangible. Even characters I hated were still characters that she filled with such great description and personality that they felt incredibly real. Mum and Dad by Joanna Trollope was hauntingly beautiful and emotionally fraught. It shows such great talent in the author and presents a story that feels so amazingly real and tangible. It is family fiction at its finest and shows amazing ingenuity and uniqueness in its construction and execution. Very much worth the read.

Thank you NetGalley, Independent Publishers Group, Macmillan and Joanna Trollope for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.
