Allie
and Bea is a tour de force.
Fabulous story, fabulous eccentric characters. I haven't quite decided that this one will
make it into my Top
20
but it's right up there.
I agree with the review
in The Book Bag that you should 'prepare yourself for an emotional ride down a bumpy road, but know that
it's a ride well worth taking.'
I'm not going to spoil the story for you. Allie is a young teenage girl whose parents
get arrested. Bea is an old feisty lady
that circumstances have forced her to live in a van.
I may add this to my reading list. I don't think that I have ever read anything by here either.

ReplyDeleteAs an update, I'm currently listening to the unabridged audio version of this novel. I'm about 27% into it and am enjoying it so far.
