BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Tylers have a perfect life—beautiful home, established careers, two sweet and talented daughters. Their eldest daughter, Leah, an exceptional soccer player, is on track for a prestigious scholarship. Their youngest, Justine—more responsible than seems possible for her 12 years—just wants her sister’s approval. With Leah nearing the end of high school and Justine a seemingly “together” kid, the parents are set to enjoy a peaceful life…until everything goes wrong. Can this family survive in Leah’s wake?
Margot Livesey, award-winning author of Banishing Verona, calls In Leah's Wake "a beautifully written and absorbing novel."
When happens when love just isn't enough?

I would love to win this book as I am such a bookworm! A friend of mine recommended it to me and I haven't been able to get to the bookshop yet so this would be lovely! @samanthawesley
ReplyDeleteThis novel is exemplary. The writing style keeps you engrossed and the characters and their lives keep you captivated. I know this is a work of fiction, but wow, it parallels the real lives of parents, children, and lives in general. It is very easy to identify with various characters and their personality traits or lack thereof.
ReplyDeleteThere is the absent father that travels for work, pushing his teenage daughter to play sports. Then the self-help mom who has a hard time instituting things she teaches into her own life. Of course, there is Leah....the teenager that is at the age of rebellion and boy does she do a good job at it. And there is the younger sister wondering why her sister doesn't like her. Add in a loser boyfriend and friends from the wrong crowd and you have the makings of a wonderfully orchestrated view of what is probably a very typical American family, to some degree, regardless of the social class.
The author will love to hear it! I am really glad you loved this one..
