REUNION
Hannah Pittard

Fiction

Kate Pulaski is a screenwriter who is washed up and has just made a mess of her marriage. Kate is on a plane and finds out that her father, with whom she has an estranged relationship has committed suicide. She is shocked and confused, but otherwise not upset. She and her two siblings, Elliot and Nell, go to Atlanta and are reunited with their father's current wife and daughter, Sasha and Mindy, and his other three previous wives and children. At the beginning of REUNION, I didn't like Kate at all.

Over four days,everyone's secrets begin to emerge, she learns that she is similar to the man she hated, her father. The four days are filled with emotional turmoil and painful lessons, and discovery and when all is revealed, I began to understand Kate, why she acted the way she did and how she stopped hiding from herself. The more that she stopped lying to herself and started to challenge others, the more I liked her. Elliot and Nell have many different issues in their private lives that spill over into this reunion.

Hannah Pittard does a wonderful job of showing us that difficult matters can make up a family and the chaotic relationships that can evolve between siblings. Although Kate is in her thirties it was interesting watching her change from a selfish woman to a more caring and honest person.

From the very beginning of REUNION, I was amazed at how much I didn't like the main character. Kate is constantly lying, she is very immature, she spends money without the thought of tomorrow, she is very shrewd and critical of others, and she hates her dad. So, why didn't I want to stop reading? I was obsessed on finding out what would become of Kate. Hannah Pittard is an amazing author and she hooked me from the very first page without me knowing it and I think that she can do this for every reader.

REUNION is an emotional journey that I was at first, hesitant to take because of what I knew of Kate at the beginning but I found myself so wrapped up in her self-exploration and courage to face the truth that I could not put REUNION down, I had to know what was going to become of Kate. Now I want to read more of Hannah Pittard. Be prepared not to do anything else once you start reading REUNION. Hannah Pittard is going to pull you right in and never let you go. Your time reading is going to fly by and you become emotionally invested in all of these characters.

SUMMARY

The author of the highly acclaimed The Fates Will Find Their Way returns with a novel about a far-flung family reunited for one weekend by their father's death. Five minutes before her flight is set to take off, Kate Pulaski, failed screenwriter and newly failed wife with scarcely a hundred dollars to her name, learns that her estranged father has killed himself. More shocked than saddened by the news, she gives in to her siblings' request that she join them, along with her many half-siblings and most of her father's five former wives, in Atlanta, their birthplace, for a final farewell. Written with huge heart and bracing wit, REUNION takes place over the following four days, as family secrets are revealed, personal foibles are exposed, and Kate-an inveterate liar looking for a way to come clean-slowly begins to acknowledge the overwhelming similarities between herself and the man she never thought she'd claim as an influence, much less a father. Hannah Pittard's "engaging and vigorous"* prose masterfully illuminates the problems that can divide modern familiesโ€”and the ties that prove impossible to break.
