A Song for Julia
Sweet and serene, but not without it’s darker, deeper moments. While the pacing and development of this novel was gentle on me, the heroine’s personal story of a privileged yet lonely childhood certainly tugged at my heart. She is locked within herself, with nobody to trust. After all, when your own mother turns her back on you, who can you believe in?
Very good! And even though I was able to put it down and didn’t necessarily reach a fever pitch while reading, it was a solid read throughout. It’s about personal growth, attachments (and fear of them), triumphs and setbacks. But each step of the way was believable to me. Mind you a few times I was all… ARGH!!! Come on, you’re doing this to yourself!! STOP!!!
