I just finished Rebecca Brown's THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE last night and am looking for someone to discuss it with. The ending (the last two sections) confused me. Was her relationship with Stanley incestuous? There is the merest hint of that. Where is she supposed to be at the end (that rocky garden)? What is the purpose or meaning of the children that terrorise and enslave her? I realise that much of the book is an allegory and that the bulk has to do with her parent's separation but I just couldn't figure out the end. That bit with the old people and the bus. Anyhow, I notice that you have the book in your collection and I'm hoping you've read it.
Any insights would be appreciated.
