Book Reviews of Three Junes
Book Review: BORING...DULL....ZZZZZ
Summary: 1 Stars
I cant say much other then this book was so dull and boring....I was actually angry that I was spending my time reading it. I didnt smile...I didnt laugh...I didnt cry...it was so dry, dull and lifeless.....ugh. I was so anxious to get to the last chapter..maybe then FINALLY something would happen or perhaps a huge twist to bring the story together...but nope. Beginning was boring...middle boring...and the ending was even more boring.
Summary of Three Junes
Three Junes is a vividly textured symphonic novel set on both sides of the Atlantic during three fateful summers in the lives of a Scottish family. In June of 1989, Paul McLeod, the recently widowed patriarch, becomes infatuated with a young American artist while traveling through Greece and is compelled to relive the secretsorrows of his marriage. Six years later, Paul's death reunites his sons at Tealing, their idyllic childhood home, where Fenno, the eldest, faces a choice that puts him at the center of his family's future. A lovable, slightly repressed gay man, Fenno leads the life of an aloof expatriate in the West Village, running a shop filled with books and birdwatching gear. He believes himself safe from all emotional entanglements-until a worldly neighbor presents him with an extraordinary gift and a seductive photographer makes him an unwitting subject. Each man draws Fenno into territories of the heart he has never braved before, leading him toward an almost unbearable loss that will reveal to him the nature of love.
Love in its limitless forms-between husband and wife, between lovers, between people and animals, between parents and children-is the force that moves these characters' lives, which collide again, in yet another June, over a Long Island dinner table. This time it is Fenno who meets and captivates Fern, the same woman who captivated his father in Greece ten years before. Now pregnant with a son of her own, Fern, like Fenno and Paul before him, must make peace with her past to embrace her future. Elegantly detailed yet full of emotional suspense, often as comic as it is sad, Three Junes is a glorious triptych about how we learn to live, and live fully, beyond incurable grief and betrayals of the heart-how family ties, both those we're born into and those we make, can offer us redemption and joy.
