Suicide, Feminism, and a little Romance Thrown in for good measure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Charlotte Vale Allen's books tend to touch upon certain social issues. In Julia's Sister, Allen touches upon suicide and feminism. Abigail is Julia's sister. Although outwardly successful, Julia commits suicide in her penthouse apartment. Abigail becomes romantically involved with the detective, Harry, who is assigned to investigate her sister's undetermined death. Abigail decides she wants a child, so she intentionally becomes pregnant by Harry. However, Abigail could also see that Harry was not the person she wanted to build a future with, so she left him. The book then shows the struggle and bias that Abigail faced as an unwed mother. Julia's Sister was written in the late 1970's, and society, and our values have changed a lot since then. It is one of Allen's earlier works. Although it is not her best work, I have yet to read a bad book by Charlotte Vale Allen.
