Guest Reviewer: This Family of Women, by Richard Peck

My guest reviewer, GG is back, bless her heart, with another YA book she enjoyed:

 

This Family of Women, by Richard Peck

YA/Adult, 1984

This novel spans the 100 years between 1840 - 1940 and the lives of 5 generations of women.

Guest Reviewer GG: The stories of the women interwined in funny, sad, and sometimes shocking ways. Definitely not a book for children, but perhaps a good warning for high school aged girls. No one has a perfectly happy life, and in fact there's a lot of suffering in this book  I was peeved at the ending of the story of June and Andy, and I'm letting Richard Peck know it.

Graded: 3 stars (out of 4)
