Why read it?
1 author picked Three Junes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I will always be grateful to Julias Glass because once upon a time, she was gracious enough to let a journalism graduate student make her the subject of a dissertation: a profile about Glass and the tribulations of creating a sophomore novel after your debut is a ginormous success.
Three Junes, which won the 2002 National Book Award, is that first novel.

From Chelsey's list on charismatic, yet tragic families.
