A review by auntieg0412
The Flicker of Old Dreams by Susan Henderson
4.0
Depressing. But still a very good read. Henderson managed to evoke a lot of emotions in me: sadness, empathy, a tiny bit of hope, and anger. A lot of anger, in fact, that people would blame a 14 year old boy for something over which he had no control, and let that blame grow into hate.
It’s a very quotable book. My Kindle copy is full of highlights.
I am reluctant to say that I recommend it, because I think a lot of people would find it too depressing. But it resonated with me because I was (am?) different, a little bit like Mary in some ways.
