A Children’s Bible follows a group of twelve eerily mature children on a forced vacation with their families at a sprawling lakeside mansion. Contemptuous of their parents, the children decide to run away when a destructive storm descends on the summer estate, embarking on a dangerous foray into the apocalyptic chaos outside. Lydia Millet’s prophetic and heartbreaking story of generational divide offers a haunting vision of what awaits us on the far side of Revelation.

A powerful and creative allegory that could have done a better job standing on its own from a story perspective, but which I would still recommend.

An interesting and thoughtful climate disaster story from the perspective of the younger generation, which is worth spending some time in.

This book is like if The Great Gatsby met Lord of the Flies and the rich people facing total catastrophe just... stayed rich and selfish. Next!
