![]() ![]() ![]() It’s rather interesting to parallel Return To Gone-Away with an author much more familiar to me, somebody like Philippa Pearce and Minnow On The Say for example. Enright is a Newbery award winner (indeed, for the prequel Gone-Away Lake), and this book is full of rich quality in every word. I have to say I struggled with some of this as it’s not the quickest, nor most ‘open’ of books, but it is rather utterly beautifully done. ![]() This is a summer like no other, as all the best children’s books are, and full of some absolutely beautiful moments. It took me a while to figure out who was who, and what was what, and then I simply gave up and enjoyed the wild richness of Enright’s writing. It’s always a little difficult coming to a series ‘second book in as it were’ as you do tend to miss a lot of what’s gone on. ![]()
