Unbecoming |
Jenny Downham has already made her name with her bold choice of subjects. Her third novel continues the tradition. Katie is confused about her sexuality. Willing to conform, she feels hemmed in by her mother's attempts to guide and control. Then Mary arrives, the grandmother she does not know, suffering from old age and memory. Told from the point of view of both Katy and Mary this is a powerful young adult novel.
