The Children's Book
by A.S. Byatt |
BookBrowse Rating:
Reviewed by Beverly Melven.
|
BookBrowse Says:
When I first plunged into The Children's Book, what struck me was how real the characters were. Olive Wellwood and her circle of friends and family didn't feel like characters, they felt like people.
