BOOK OF THE MONTH
I’ll give you the sun by Jandy Nelson
I’ll give you the sun follows two twins as they grow up and face tremendous love and loss, the narrative switches between the two and before and after a traumatic event occurs in their lives that changes them forever. It explores themes of grief, sexuality, creativity and self expression through art, identity, guilt and the importance of family. When reading I’ll give you the sun I found the writing style was like nothing I had ever read before, the metaphors made the whole storyline so much more vivid through descriptions you would never expect and the characters who wove in and out of eachothers lives were complicated and so felt very real, as if you were following their journeys alongside them.
