Undrawn is Well-drawn
2011/3/19
By RW Bennett

形式:ペーパーバック
Debut novelist Conchie Fernandez has shown in her just released novel Undrawn that she is a voice deserving to be heard, and heard widely. Undrawn chronicles the present day story of the powerful Reed family. The central character is Kyle Reed, whose gifts and talents are unfathomable to his US Senator father Brandon Reed and his domineering older brother Stuart Reed (who also becomes a US Senator from Massachusetts). Even his gay younger brother Troy is more accepted in the family as Troy at least follows the approved Reed family script in becoming a Harvard educated lawyer.
Kyle suffers from juvenile diabetes and uses his condition as a way to distance himself from his peers and family alike. As Kyle's extraordinary artistic talents become apparent, he further separates himself geographically and emotionally from his family. His success as an artist belies his inner turmoil and Kyle descends into a drug-riddled pit, artfully told by Fernandez. The book (particularly the ending) is emotionally satisfying and thought provoking. I endorse this work.

Wow, A Great First Novel!

Undrawn is about a man who wants to live his own life, not the life his rich father wants him to live, to be a lawyer and follow in the family business. Although Kyle has diabetes, he doesn't let that get in his way of wanting to be an artist and to live his own life away from the family home in Boston. He falls in love with another artist and follows her to Chicago where he becomes a famous artist in his own right.
Ms Fernandez gets down deep within the recesses of her main character's mind where we see him fight with himself of what is expected of him and what he wants to do. As a reader, I can sympathize and empathize with his feelings about his childhood, growing up under his father's notion of what he wants his child to be and not what the child wants to be. We can feel Kyle's hurt, his pain, his love, his losses, his dreams and his torturing himself over the eventual loss of his father and how they did not get along while Kyle lived in the family home. We can see Kyle slowly change from a shy, introverted young boy/man to someone who knows he needed to change and does something about it. Her characters are ones you love to hate -- Kyle's brother Stuart and his son, Chad; to ones you love to love -- Kyle's younger brother, Troy and Stuart's daughter, Jeannie. I like the way Kyle thinks and reflects. He is a very likable and believable character. I can see the places in my mind as well as the paintings, the colors in the paintings,
what the characters felt.
Ms. Fernandez's first novel has my 5 star rating and I recommend reading it.

Amazing book! Well paced, kept me running back from work to continue reading. Kyle is so intriguing- Great character - Brilliant way to write the story of the Reed Family! This book will be forever stamped on my mind. Can't wait for Ms. Fernandez's next creation.
