Customer Reviews

A satisfying, very different kind of story of a family's struggles.

Iain Lawrence's GEMINI SUMMER tells of a family filled with dreams: a father builds a fallout shelter in event of the 'end of everything', his wife is writing her own version of 'Gone with the Wind', an older son aspires to be an astronaut, and Danny wants a dog. In 1965 tragedy will change all their agendas and will introduce new directions into set paths - some for better, some for worse. Young adult leisure readers will find this a satisfying, very different kind of story of a family's struggles.
