Anne
By Zarina Macha
5 out of 5 stars

The story Anne by Zarina Macha is a YA/coming of age book. It is a story that follows the life of Anne Mason. It is a book that has powerful moments and also makes you think. There are heartbreaking moments as well as times that made me wonder what I would have done given the same circumstances. Anne is a young girl whose father terrorizes her mother. She is home-schooled and knowledge is her escape. Then her world is upended when her father tells her that her mother has left them. Anne then goes to her aunt and uncle’s home. Read this book to find out more about Anne’s journey. Anne is a character that is likable and one that I could only wish for her to find happiness. While the past haunts her she goes through life by excelling in knowledge. She also has friends that she makes along that way, even falling for someone. Anne’s challenges and accomplishments shape her life. There are times when I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes. This is an emotional story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. There are many additional characters that are introduced and many of them are family and good friends with Anne. I enjoyed the interactions between them and Anne. This is a book I would recommend reading.
