Book: The Song of the Magdalene by Donna Jo Napoli
Age-Range: 13 and up
Recommended: No
It seems Ms. Napoli's books are becoming a hit or miss with me. This book, while there were parts so beautiful I cried, was ultimately a disappointment. This is the second book of hers that has featured rape. This one much more graphic and horrifying than the one in her book Hush.
So, although I loved some of it, I can't recommend this book in good faith.
