The Noon God

What's a perk of being stuck in a long (8 hour) car ride for two solid days?? Getting to read some books!! 


The Noon God is about a woman who loses her mother, and remembers all those she has loved and lost in the past; while helping her sister and uncle cope with the recent death.  

Mona's father, J. Caesar Fortune, a well-known author, disappeared on Monday. But the end of the week, his body was found with a bullet to his head. As Mona relives the past of her mom, who overdosed, her sister, who jumped out of a window and overdosed, and her other sister who eats entirely too much for comfort food, we learn why Mona may appear to have anger problems. What is in the little black bag she found last week at the school where she works?  Who really shot her father?  Did Mona feel bitterness to the father that favored her over all others because he helped ruin her marriage? 

 

This is a super quick read, but seems a little mediocre the way the writing is.
