A review by darastar
The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh, Lloyd Bloom

2.0

Reread of this book which I remember from when I was a child and which has stuck with me. It’s very strange rereading as an adult in “the future” because it feels like it was definitely not written with the idea that technology had progressed much beyond the 80s. Interesting if you have a very specific enjoyment/kink in books, which for me is “setting up house”: that is, people in a new home or place, and how they set up their home to make it livable for them. Usually lots of shopping if modern, and building and planting if it’s old-fashioned. This is old-fashioned pretending to be modern and it fits my book-kink perfectly.
