A review by sternbergjulie
Judgment Day by Penelope Lively

5.0

I love this book. I love the way Penelope Lively conveys a scene with pitch perfection from different characters' perspectives. I love how her characters spring to life in a matter of paragraphs. I love that she raises big issues (faith, the nature of history, what truly matters, what lingers through time) through a story focused on one small neighborhood, in one moment in time. And her use of language! Genius.
