Notes

2021-02-10

It is a wierd childrens book, all atmosphere and allusion and it expects quite a lot of a young reader in terms of an understanding of class and cross cultural dynamics (esp. a reader separated from the action by 50 odd years). Not sure I’d recomend it but it leaves an impression.
