Book Summary
Twenty-one-year-old
narcoleptic Angel Duet knows her father harbors secrets. He loves and protects her, but his suspicious
refusal to discuss her mother's death drives Angel to worship an image created
from the little history she does have: her father's sketchy stories and her
mother's treasured photography, studies of clouds that have hung in the their
foyer for more than twenty years.
When her father's girlfriend
moves in, the photographs come down, and Angel's search for truth becomes an
obsession. As she struggles to uncover the past and gain control over the
narcolepsy that often fogs her world, Angel descends into a dizzying realm of
drugs, adultery, and confused desire that further obscures reality.
As Angel begins to expose a
history she could never have imagined, she discovers her entire life has been
anchored around lies. Accepting the truth, once found, is the key to
understanding herself, her family, and her life. To truly awaken, Angel must
realize that sometimes the gifts we receive are not what we want--and only in
time do we see their worth. (book synopsis)
Book Review
The author of Aberrations, Penelope Przekop, is a first time author which really surprised me. Her story was richly drawn with secrets and
layers that developed as the story went on. All of the characters, especially Angel, are
blunt and real in their emotions. It was
interesting to go inside her head and learn about dealing with such the awful
disorder of narcolepsy. Her growth
throughout the story was compelling to read about. This was an inspiring and a lovely gem of a
book. I look forward to more from this
talented author.
