Written in vignettes from the close third-person view of a young child, this short novel has the feel of a long prose poem. The early 60s in an Edmonton neighbourhood are evoked through all of the senses. All the feelings are there too, as a girl grapples with understanding what is happening in the adult world around her.
A year ago, I gave this 3 stars. Upon rereading, I've bumped that up to 4 on Goodreads.
