Camilla by Madeleine L'Engle

3.0

So, I read this book when I was around 12 and loved it so much that I gave to every single one of my close friends and they all loved it too. I even still have my original copy somewhere in parents house. I read it again now being significantly older and...it's not that great. I think it was a better memory than anything. It's not terrible but I guess I'm not its target audience anymore. It was a bit boring and the characters lacked depth. The dialogues also seemed strange and a bit too formal even for the 50s. Some even sounded like essays, specially if they were coming from Frank. I would give it a 2.5 rating but I'm rounding it to 3 for the nostalgia.
