Three Junes

Julia Glass · 2002 CE · Novel · Modern / American · Contemporary

Three June episodes, spread across a decade, follow members of a Scottish family: a widower on a tour of Greece, his gay son, a bookseller in New York during the AIDS years, and a young painter in the third. Each section changes narrator and place, and the sections gain meaning from one another. A first novel that won the National Book Award for Fiction.
