Hogarth kindly sent me an advanced copy of Bear, which I read in July.
It was right up my alley. It was dark, moody, heavy, and full of intrigue. These two sisters are in such a dire situation. They are living with their dying mother, desperately wanting to leave to improve their lives. And then comes this bear, which begins to place a divide between them. One sister is extremely leery of the animal and the other has embraced it with open arms. Friction starts to grow between them. This isn’t a joyful book, these sisters have and are experiencing truly rough times.
I own her book Disappearing Earth, which I’ll definitely read before the year ends. Phillips may become a favorite writer of mine.
What have you all been reading lately? Have you read Julia Phillips before?
Ok but did you like it?
