Book Reviews of An Unfinished Life
Book Review: I liked it
Summary: 3 Stars
Wish I hadn't seen the (weak) movie first-the only one not mis-cast was Morgan Freeman.
I liked this book. It was a book I wanted to get back to. However, I think Jean's character didn't seem true to me somehow. I don't think he writes women as well as men. I loved the male characters and their friendship.
Would recommend this and his other novels. If you like these, you like Kent Haruf and most of all Cormac McCarthy.
Summary of An Unfinished Life
In an extraordinary tale of love and forgiveness, Mark Spragg brings us this novel of a complex, prodigal homecoming.After escaping the last of a long string of abusive boyfriends, Jean Gilkyson and her ten-year-old daughter Griff have nowhere left to go. Nowhere except Ishawooa, Wyoming, where Jean's estranged father-in-law, Einar, still blames her for the death of his son. Though Einar isn't glad to see either of them, Griff falls in love with his sprawling ranch and quiet way of life, as she slowly gets to know his crippled old friend Mitch, the cats that lurk in the barn at milking time, and finally the grandfather she had lost for so many years. An emotionally charged story of hard-won friendship and reconciliation, An Unfinished Life shows a novelist of extraordinary talents in the fullness of his powers.
