A review by squirrelsonbookshelves
Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone

5.0

I hate star ratings, and this book is a key example as to why. It is marmite. You'll find just as many one star ratings as five.

Mirrorland has the feel of a Gothic fairytale. It has the far-fetched plot of any great Agatha Christie book. It has hard and complex subjects and relationships. Psychology, and the power of memory and imagination.

When is a child's imaginary world an adventure? When is it fake? What if it's real?

I loved the beauty and confusion and pain of this book, but I can guarantee that many of you will say it's confusing and unbelievable. If you can believe though, believe.
