Book Review: A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

A Children’s Bible
by Lydia Millet (Millett)

The teenage narrator of the novel, Evie, is navigating a multi-family vacation gone awry. Between a lack of supervision and a supercharged storm a group of children experience a whirlwind of events. This story is a snarky, at times silly, social commentary that focuses on the climate situation and the ways in which people handle new realities.

 

It is a timely, entertaining and unique read.

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The 2084 Report: A Novel of the Great Warming by James Lawrence Powell, Lord of the Files by William Golding or the movie Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson.)
