#books — last night I finished reading:
Lydia Millet, A Children's Bible (2020)
It seems straightforward at first: some old friends summering with their kids, mostly teens, at a rented lakeside cottage. The protagonist is one of the teenagers, who all have varying levels of contempt for the parents. Things get interesting/apocalyptic when a cataclysmic storm hits. The tone of the novel is generally light and funny but also important, with touches of magical realism toward the end. Enjoyed.
