520 "[This novel] follows a group of children and their
families on summer vacation at a lakeside mansion. The
teenage narrator Eve and the other children are
contemptuous of their parents, who spend the days and
nights in drunken stupor. This tension heightens when a
great storm arrives and throws the house and its residents
into chaos. Named for a picture Bible given to Eve's
little brother Jack, A Children's Bible is loosely
structured around events and characters that often appear
in collections of Bible stories intended for young
readers. These narrative touchstones are imbedded in a
backdrop of environmental and psychological distress as
the children reject the parents for their emotional and
moral failures-in part as normal teenagers must, and in
part for their generation's passivity and denial in the
face of cataclysmic change. In A Children's Bible, Millet
offers brilliant commentary on the environment and human
weakness and a vision of what awaits us on the other side
of Revelations"--|cProvided by publisher
