Cassie (cassie_d) The Lucy Family Alphabet The Lucy Family Alphabet by Judith Lucy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I loved this. But ***definitely not suitable for children!***

Judith Lucy takes us through her relationship with her parents and some of her funny life stories via the alphabet. You'll laugh & cry with Judith as she finds out she's adopted (in her mid-twenties) and see how she deals with having the least normal family when she was growing up in Perth. And grieve with her when she loses those parents.

Classic Lines (from the dustjacket):

"Oh my God, you're adopted ... you must be so relieved."

Cassie (cassie_d) Unfortunately Brenda, once I start reading another book my poor brain loses the in-depth understanding of the old one :(

I did give it 4 / 5 stars.

3/10 done, 7 to go :)
