Fiona Skinner is a renowned poet who was asked about the inspiration behind her iconic work, The Love Poem. Fiona relays a story about her family and the betrayal that slowly rips apart her family.
It all began when her father passed away unexpectedly. Her mother unable to cope with the loss
and the demands of a young family locks herself in her room. Her
children began calling this time "The Pause". They had to learn how to
take care of themselves and became loyal to each other. Two decades
later, the siblings have to rely on each other once again. Will they be
able to rely on each other and move on from the past?
I
thought that this book was an easy read. However, while reading this
book, I was reminded of my required school reading of books by Hemingway
and Faulkner. It isn't because that this book or Faulkner or Hemingway
are bad books but, they felt a bit bland and boring, especially,
when you are required to read them, instead of reading them for
pleasure. The characters were interesting but, I wasn't really invested
in them. Overall, I felt like it might be an enjoyable book for some but, it wasn't my cup of tea.
