Enough To Touch is a good book. It has quirky characters that you need to
find out what happens to them. I spent
quite a lot of time reading this when I had other things I should have been doing
– not just yucky things either.
The heroine of the book is Jubilee Jenkins. At the start of the book she has been
housebound on her own for 9 years. Then
her mother dies and Jubilee no longer has a source of funds.
What Jubilee does and how she manages (or not) her
condition is fascinating. Her life
intersects with a solo father – who is the strong silent type and his son
Aja. All of them are interesting but
difficult characters.
One of the quotes on the back cover is 'Oakley delivers a
story that overflows with compassion, humor, and the impulsive need to read
just one more chapter until you reach the very satisfying end.' Just so!
I might add this to my reading list too. I am currently reading a book that I may write on later, but can't decide if it is going to be one that I finish or not.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review. New one for me.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds interesting. Jubilee is definitely a unique name!
