Anna Maslin writes a humorous account of her life as a foster parent with all the crazy shenanigans of a large family. The Year of the Jubilee is the sequel to The Binary Year. While the first book focuses on the process of becoming a foster family, this second book is all about the challenges of becoming a foster family. The writing is chopped up into short consecutive entries written in journal prose. The entries are a mixture of world events and the chaos of family life. Maslin's tone is both humorous and witty. Overall, it's a cute and enjoyable book that focuses on the dynamics of a large foster family.
