Love Objects by Emily MaguireMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Such an incredible book, by a wonderfully talented Aussie writer.
Nic is a Sydney woman, a check out chick, never married, no kids, but has a very close relationship with her Niece Lena. In fact, Lena is like a daughter to Nic. They meet for coffee every weekend, to catch up.
Lena is a Uni student, trying to fit in, and find her own path in life.
Both of these ladies have their own secret lives, that they keep to themselves, and have not let, even the closest of friends and family in on their secrets.
Unfortunately for Nic her life comes crashing down around her when she has a fall at home. Luckily Lena finds her at home, and gets the assistance she needs, but is it the assistance that Nic wants?
This is an incredible book, it explores topics of hoarding, sex tapes, prison, betrayal, trust, and love. It shows life as an Australian.
The language is an eye opener, it is not something to be read in most books, but it helps portray the story well, to the point you can really feel and understand the story teller and the characters.
