mariannelicht0966 's review for:
A Children's Bible
by Lydia Millet
I love a good dystopian novel and this is an interesting one. A group of children and teens are caught in an apocalyptic storm (believed to be caused by climate change) while on vacation with their parents. While the adults ignore the crisis and spend their time drinking and having sex, the children are left to cope on their own. I loved all the biblical allusions and trying to figure out which plot points and characters paralleled which bible stories. Some were obvious- such as the narrator being named Eve; some were more subtle and left to the reader's interpretation. I also appreciated what I feel was the message of the book: that past and current generations have ravaged the earth and it will be future generations that bear the burden.
