Book Reviews of Sheer Abandon: A Novel
Book Review: A Highly Entertaining Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Sex, politics and a devastating secret ... Penny combines these elements with the search of a sixteen-year-old girl for her birth mother, resulting in a novel that is both intoxicating and deeply moving. This is the story of three very different women--prickly, independent Martha, impulsive, fun-loving Jocasta and sweet, self-effacing Clio--who meet by chance at eighteen as they're about to embark on several months travelling, and how, seventeen years later, their paths cross under extraordinary circumstances. As with all Penny Vincenzi's novels, it is the characters that truly bring this to life. They might not always be likable, but it's impossible not to feel for them, and to smile when you recognize their flaws in yourself. Sometimes sharply funny, at others poignantly sad, Sheer Abandon is above all a highly entertaining read.
