The Unnamed-- Book Review


Tim Farnsworth is a handsome, healthy man, aging with the grace of a matinee idol. His wife Jane still loves him, and for all its quiet trials, their marriage is still stronger than most. Despite long hours at the office, he remains passionate about his work, and his partnership at a prestigious Manhattan law firm means that the work he does is important. And, even as his daughter Becka retreats behind her guitar, her dreadlocks and her puppy fat, he offers her every one of a father's honest lies about her being the most beautiful girl in the world. He loves his wife, his family, his work, his home. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out. And keeps walking( Good Reads.com)

I have never read anything by this author before.

I found it to be an interesting concept and tone of the book was sad. There are 3 point of views of Becca, Tim, and Jane.

Its an interesting illness that Tim deals with through out his life and what the family does to cope with it.

This story is broken down into 4 parts. I found this book thought provoking on illness does to family and religion, body or soul and addictions.

This book comes out Jan 18, 2010 and $24.99.

My review - 3

Thanks to little Brown for the book to review and this is my Honest review.
