The Children's Book

The Children's Book - A.S. Byatt The Children's Book is a story about the Wellwood's, a dysfunctional English family. Olive Wellwood is a famous children's author and the matriarch of this family. The novel follows her life and the life of her children as they grow from childhood to adulthood. The stories of the family members was fascinating, but I also enjoyed seeing the change in English society as it moved it's way through the beginning of the Century. Many critics have felt that this book included too much research and details, but although the story was long, it kept my attention. The audiobook is very well narrated by Rosalyn Landor.
