Product Description:
An astonishing first novel that traces the lives of a Scottish family over a decade as they confront the joys and longings, fulfillments and betrayals of love in all its guises.
In June of 1989 Paul McLeod, a newspaper publisher and recent widower, travels to Greece, where he falls for a young American artist and reflects on the complicated truth about his marriage. . ..Six years later, again in June, Paul’s death draws his three grown sons and their families back to their ancestral home. Fenno, the eldest, a wry, introspective gay man, narrates the events of this unforeseen reunion. Far from his straitlaced expatriate life as a bookseller in Greenwich Village, Fenno is stunned by a series of revelations that threaten his carefully crafted defenses. . .. Four years farther on, in yet another June, a chance meeting on the Long Island shore brings Fenno together with Fern Olitsky, the artist who once captivated his father. Now pregnant, Fern must weigh her guilt about the past against her wishes for the future and decide what family means to her. In prose rich with compassion and wit, Three Junes paints a haunting portrait of love’s redemptive powers.

So, I just finished this book tonight. When I was done, I thought it was a good book, but I also thought the last part about Fern seemed like it was just tacked onto the the story of Paul and Fenno MacLeod, father and son. Of course, I had missed the fact that Fern was the same artist from the beginning. That may have had something to do with the time machine quality of the narrative (it's five years earlier, five years later, etc.) or the fact that I listened to the book instead of reading it, ...

I loved this book from the beginning to the end. Characters were so richly drawn, plots intriguing, and writing stellar. Recommend to anyone who wants an engrossing novel that is a pleasure to read.

I cant say much other then this book was so dull and boring....I was actually angry that I was spending my time reading it. I didnt smile...I didnt laugh...I didnt cry...it was so dry, dull and lifeless.....ugh. I was so anxious to get to the last chapter..maybe then FINALLY something would happen or perhaps a huge twist to bring the story together...but nope. Beginning was boring...middle boring...and the ending was even more boring.

Julia Glass' "Three Junes" is less a novel than a set of three loosely connected novellas telling the story of the McLeod family--newspaper publisher Paul; his wife, Maureen, breeder of champion border collies; and their sons--bookstore owner Fenno, veterinarian David, and chef Dennis. You could call it a family saga, except that Glass sternly resists all temptations to give in to the overworked conventions of that genre.
As the title indicates, the novellas tell the stories of various ... Read More

Our book club chose this book on a whim, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. The characters are beautifully crafted, and I am not sure I have ever cared for fictional people more. Having to read this in the weeks following the death of a love one, this book helped in the healing process to no end, as you one easily identify with the family and realise that you are not alone in hurt. The intricate details make the family feel so real and you begin to feel you are one of them. ... Read More
