It's actually not something I would usually want to read, but after getting the sampler at YALC and discovering Unbecoming's parallels with my own life, I needed to know more and was very glad when the book was offered for review. It's honest, raw, hopeful and definitely not unbecoming in the slightest.
Unbecoming is one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. As Mary slowly unravels and family secrets are revealed, Katie learns to live and finally dares to love. In confronting the past, Katie is forced to seize the present. Is Mary contagious? Is 'badness' genetic?
Katie's grandmother, Mary, back with the family after years of mysterious absence and 'capable of everything', despite suffering from Alzheimer's.Īs Katie cares for an elderly woman who brings daily chaos to her life, she finds herself drawn to her. Her mother Caroline, uptight, worn out and about to find the past catching up with her. Katie, seventeen, in love with someone whose identity she can't reveal. Three women - three secrets - one heart-stopping story.
