Nightingale

by Amy Lukavics

At seventeen, June Hardie is everything a young woman in 1951 shouldn't be--independent, rebellious, a dreamer. June longs to travel, to attend college and to write the dark science fiction stories that consume her waking hours. But her parents only care about making June a better young woman. Her mother grooms her to be a perfect little homemaker while her father pushes her to marry his business partner's domineering son. When June resists, her whole world is shattered--suburbia isn't the only prison for different women ... --Amazon.com.

With an intriguing start, Nightingale keeps you reading with is mix of historical fiction and science fiction. Is what June experiencing real or some manifestation of her imagination? Unfortunately, as the book nears its conclusion, the story falls apart and becomes quite confusing, making you wonder what just happened.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
