Review: Monsoon Season


Monsoon Season
Monsoon Season by Katie O'Rourke

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A complex web of relationships explored ...... that of Riley and Ben the main characters, but also those of their families and friends. Ben is the son of an abusive father, Riley has estranged herself from her own family. When Ben hits her she refuses to classify herself as an abused woman; she removes herself from the situation and runs back to home where she needs to re-establish her relationships with her family.

A weave of family and friend relationships this is not a fast-moving book with lots of action but a well written novel exploring the dynamics of day to day life.
