jennoit 's review for:

Denison Avenue by Christina Wong
3.75
emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No

I enjoyed this for the creative combination of poetry and novel alongside  the beautiful illustrations. Having lived in this neighbourhood more than 25 years ago it still felt familiar and I loved and could picture the streets described in detail. I do wonder, if you weren’t familiar with this Toronto neighbourhood, if you would feel the same way.  There were several passages that made me cry.
