Adventure About To Begin



Adventures About To Begin
By Allen Therisa
Genre:-Romance/Family
Pages:-352
Publisher:-Book Guild
Blurb:-After the death of his grandfather, Noah's life is thrown into chaos as he faces a repressed past which threatens everything he believes to be true. In the course of trying to come to terms with his loss, Noah must also navigate a difficult relationship with his sister, Kelly, as they reflect on their turbulent childhood-when they were taken from London to live in the Kent countryside following the breakdown of their parents' marriage.
 Set between the 1970s and the more recent past, Adventures About To Begin chronicles a collapsing marriage as experienced by its children and reflects on how memory shapes our decisions at crucial junctures during our lives. It is both funny and touching, as well as a sensitive insight into British family life during a period of great social and cultural change.

My Review:-This story is told in different timelines, as well as different POV,  Noah, Kelly and Daniel. which I found interesting. After the death of their Grandad, Noah decides he wants to know more about  his life growing up in South East London in the 70s.  Growing up wasn't an easy life for any of them, their father's job caused problems and after a while things got worse and their parents ended up getting  divorced. This was something they all found hard at the time, as everything was left for their mother to do with the help from each of them. The found it a fast read and enjoyable. The story has tragedy, loss, drama, humour and finding out things you don't expect.
