Our Father Who Art in a Tree: A Novel door Judy Pascoe
What a lovely gem of a book!
Sometimes I pick up a book because I like the cover. I like this cover and was intrigued by the title.
Yr 7 - Yr 8
In a voice reminiscent of that of Scout Finch, the narrator of To Kill a Mockingbird, Judy Pascoe's heroine, Simone, observes with candor and fresh insight the ways in which her mother, brothers, neighbors, and community deal with the death of her father. While her mother functions on only the most basic level, and her older brother buries himself in schoolwork, Simone conceives the idea that her father's spirit lives in the tree in the backyard.
