A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond
1.0
Man, this was a let-down. I love the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, I love David Almond, and I am down with contemporary re-tellings. But this was a slog. I couldn't finish.
I also don't believe this is mean for young adults - just because it's about teenagers (but is it? I guess they're in the UK somewhere, so longer school breaks, but they felt more college-aged to me) doesn't mean it's for them. The language, the dreaminess, the atmosphere... none of this would appeal to many teens, if any.
