À propos de cet audio

Pulitzer Prize finalist Lydia Millet's sublime new novel - her first since the National Book Award long-listed Sweet Lamb of Heaven - follows a group of 12 eerily mature children on a forced vacation with their families at a sprawling lakeside mansion.

Contemptuous of their parents, who pass their days in a stupor of liquor, drugs, and sex, the children feel neglected and suffocated at the same time. When a destructive storm descends on the summer estate, the group's ringleaders - including Eve, who narrates the story - decide to run away, leading the younger ones on a dangerous foray into the apocalyptic chaos outside.

As the scenes of devastation begin to mimic events in the dog-eared picture Bible carried around by her beloved little brother, Eve devotes herself to keeping him safe from harm.

A Children's Bible is a prophetic, heartbreaking story of generational divide - and a haunting vision of what awaits us on the far side of Revelation.

The parents, though, are a right mess; Allegorical, lyrical with a fierce adherence to biblical forms.

Watch for the brief appearance of Turn, Turn, Turn, sung by angels to mark someone's passing. Eve is a great narrator, if a little unreliable, in the way of these stories.

The kids are alright

At last...something truly original! The reader was perfectly suited to the voices of children mature beyond their years. Highly recommended.

Fascinating, stirring, utterly unique

An interesting story. well written and beautiful at time. the metaphors can be a bit thick and predictable. a little bit preachy. but all in all imaginative and worth reading.
