A review by ltfitch
A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

5.0

Ice cold writing--sharp, unflinching and merciless. It's an incredible story about the disaster of climate change which Millet makes perfectly plausible (which is terrifying). Her teenage dialogue is so authentic and funny but the teens' earnestness and self-awareness are what make the novel so moving. I love Millet's other books and A Children's Bible is like a highly concentrated version of her others. There is not an extra word or a stray idea. It's masterful.
