11/21/2005: "Review of Three Junes, by Julia Glass"
In Three Junes, winner of the National Book Award in 2002, Julia Glass has published an excellent study of a family, of three sons, one of the sons a homosexual, and their relationship with their parents. The father, after the death of his wife, a fanatical pet lover, also finds a new and younger love and his relationship with this woman is explored. The gay brother has his own relationships which are depicted well and with an attention to detail. The places of the book, Greece, Scotland, and New York City are entrancing and kept me reading. It’s a character study, not an adventure yarn, but you should make room for it.
