A review by blusocket
The Secret Language by Ursula Nordstrom

lighthearted reflective

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

Knowing that Ursula Nordstrom was a lesbian and burned her manuscript of the sequel to this book before she died lends its focus on the complicated, bittersweet romance of childhood a lot of pathos. I think Victoria and Martha are going to be really special to me for a long time.
