Three Junes by Julia Glass

Three JunesThree Junes by Julia Glass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very pleasant surprise. It takes place in Scotland, Greece and the US. The story begins with Paul McLeod, a recent widower, touring Greece. Here he reflects on his marriage. They owned property in Scotland where his wife bred border collie dogs.

Six years later his sons are brought together when Paul himself dies and here the story of the boys, Fenno the eldest and Dennis and David, the twins begins.

A wide ranging family story/saga. You can't help becoming attached to each character and their personal challenges. Excellent!
