The Family Way
Tony Parson's
The Family Way scores a perfect ten, in my opinion. An absolutely captivating book which revolves around love and family. It's amazing how he carefully thought through each character and skillfully brings out the heart tuggers and controversies all at the same time. To me, good writers make you want to finish the book the moment you pick it up, but great writers make you want to immerse yourself in the book and enjoy every single page of it. Tony Parson is a great writer. He develops every character of the story with such explicit details that you feel like you know that person inside out. He tackles controversial issues like casual sex, over-populated China and In-Vitro Fertilisation with such subtle yet lasting impressions.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
