Summary:
"[This
novel
] follows a group of
children
and their families on summer vacation at a lakeside mansion. The teenage narrator Eve and the other
children
are contemptuous of their parents, who spend the days and nights in drunken stupor. This tension heightens when a great storm arrives and throws the house and its residents into chaos. Named for a picture
Bible
given to Eve'
s
little brother Jack, A
Children
's
Bible
is loosely structured around events and characters that often appear in collections of
Bible
stories intended for young readers. These narrative touchstones are embedded in a backdrop of environmental and psychological distress as the
children
reject the parents for their emotional and moral failures-in part as normal teenagers must, and in part for their generation'
s
passivity and denial in the face of cataclysmic change. In A
Children
's
Bible
, Millet offers brilliant commentary on the environment and human weakness and a vision of what awaits us on the other side of Revelations"--Publisher.
