khairun_atika 's review for:
Belzhar
by Meg Wolitzer
Belzhar is a form of escape for the elite Special Topics students of The Wooden Barn, an institution for "highly intelligent, fragile" adolescents. While they may seem unstable at first, we soon realise that they are all hanging, dealing with grief and loss. Belzhar allowed them to restore their past so that they can somehow deal with the present. The book started out as a raw and poignant portrayal of depression, but it progresses into a beautiful depiction of redemption and hope, making Belzhar more than just a place of escape - it is also a place of discovery.
