A children's bible : a novel / Lydia Millet. by Millet, Lydia, 1968- W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 2020. Call #: FICTION MIL Subjects Family vacations -- Fiction.   Siblings -- Fiction.   Survival -- Fiction.   Conflict of generations -- Fiction.   Environmental disasters -- Fiction.   Parent and teenager -- Fiction.   Runaway children -- Fiction.   Apathy -- Fiction.   End of the world -- Biblical teaching -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781324005032 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  224 p. ; 22 cm. 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.
