The Children's Home by Charles Lambert
4.0
I received a free e-copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
'The Children's Home' was a weird, vague and most of the time bleak story. All of this in a good way: it feels like it gives a wonderful outline for the reader's imagination, for us to give colour to. Sometimes these colours are brighter than other moments, but there's some colour all the time - even if that one is red. It also made me think about the colours I give to my life, and about how I can write and paint my own story.
That said, sometimes the vagueness was too much, the things given over to the imagination of the reader too many. Because of that, it was not the easiest story to get into; it took me quite a while. It was totally worth reading on though.
