>20 CurrerBell: One of my all time favourite books. Emilio is my biggest literary crush.

>21 Jackie_K: I read it years and years ago, right after its first publication, but I didn't remember much about it on the reread. I'm going to get to Children of God when I finish some Rosamond Lehmann for the Virago monthly author read.

I listened to The Sparrow and Children of God a couple of years ago. They were very interesting. Better than I was expecting.
