A review by schleviboy
The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt

4.0

Enjoyed her writing, which was well suited to the Arts & Crafts world. The first 1/3 or so was captivating and held great promise, but I didn't think the rest lived up to my hopes. It seemed like it wanted to be a historical epic (like War and Peace or even more like The Winds of War) but I think it would have been better with a more limited scope.
