My Thoughts:
Just An Ordinary Family is a fantastic contemporary drama from Fiona Lowe.
Life in Kurnai Bay may not be perfect for sisters, Alice – who is nursing a broken heart, and Libby = mourning a recent loss, but neither are prepared for the shocking secrets that are about to tear their worlds apart.
Exploring several sensitive issues including, stillbirth, infertility, adultery and child abuse, as well as broader themes including friendship, loss, love, betrayal, and forgiveness, this a compelling family drama.
I found myself totally caught up in this character driven story that focuses on the relationships of four women, twins Alice and Libby, their mother Karen, and Libby’s best friend, Jess. Portrayed with complexity and authenticity, even after I turned the last page, I found myself thinking about the characters, the decisions they were faced with, and the choices they made.
For me, Just An Ordinary Family was an excellent read, stirring and thought-provoking.

Ah just finished. So agree with your review. I kept going back and picking it up and wanting to read on. She is an Aussie author that is now a firm favourite with me.

I like that the book is about a mother, daughters, and a friend, and with all those issues it sounds very interesting.
