Review #479: Unbecoming by Jenny Downham



My rating: 3 of 5 stars


“To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors.”

----Tia Walker



Jenny Downham, a British novelist, pens an incredibly honest family drama surrounding three generations of women in her new young adult book, Unbecoming that narrates the story of a young teenager who had no idea that she had a grandmother, until the day when her grandmother comes to live with her and her mum, who it seems never ever talked about her, thus opening the floodgates to some painful memories both in the grandmother's as well as in the teenager's mother's past that they have buried deep under piles of happy memories.
