A review by lydiahephzibah
The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff

3.0

This was a strange book . . . I didn't really get it? But I kind of liked the atmosphere? But I'm also not entirely sure what the point was? It all felt very detached, and I only realised when reading other people's reviews that we never learn the narrator's name. I didn't even notice that while reading. It's a very quick read - 245 pages with large font and margins - and it felt like it lacked substance. Very much, as another reviewer put it, a "hipster book".
