A review by shighley
The Dolls' House by Rumer Godden, Christian Birmingham

3.0

I read this because an author mentioned it as COVID comfort reading during a panel. The book I got through interlibrary loan was almost like the dolls in the book; somewhat fragile, yellowing pages... but the outside cover seemed indestructible. Purchased by the library in 1998, it had one due date stamped on the back page (but maybe they automated soon after.)

Here I am as an adult reading a children's book but having to remind myself that although it might have seemed there were conversations among the dolls and humans, there were not. I may not look at a doll the same way again, and I will wonder which ones are bullies!
