From
the author of "Stigmata"
comes the long awaited prequel,
"A Sunday in June."
The story takes us through an amazing
journey through the lives with three
sisters who each have a special gift
of "sight." Born two
generations after slavery ended, the
sisters each endure a terrible secret
that threatens to destroy their
family.
Phyllis
Alesia Perry does a wonderful job
creating characters that we want to
share their struggles. This
journey takes us through rural Alabama
with a voice so strong that the reader
is immersed in Johnson's Creek rooting
on Grace, Mary Nell, and Eva--the
Mobley girls, in hopes that they will
each triumph over their individual
adversities.
Although
the novel had a slow start, by
the fifth chapter the reader is
strapped to an speedy
rollercoaster ride as your
emotions run the gamut.
Once you learn the sisters'
secrets, it is difficult to put
the book down as you desperately
will each sister to save
themselves and resolve issues
that are bound to tear their
relationship apart.
This
is an incredible read for
discussion groups as you will
study such issues as family
secrets, sisterhood bonds, and
how much does the past affect
our future. After
completing this novel, a reader
is bound to pick up
"Stigmata" if they
haven't already to find out how
some of the issues are resolved.
All
in all, Perry does a magnificent
job creating such a difficult
tale about "A Sunday in
June." We give it 4
Stars!! |
