review 1: This stunning, beautifully told novel explores intention, faith and creativity. When a lonely, motherless young girl with an emotionally closed-off father experiences an excess of cruelty at school, she turns to The Land of Decoration, a world she's constructed in her bedroom out of found objects. When she notices correlations between the land she's created and reality, she realizes she has the power to create what she calls "miracles" and believes she is God's Instrument. As could be expected, such power leads to great responsibility, and she finds her miracles are not without consequences. Emotionally riveting and with arresting imagery, this is beyond a successful first novel and I look forward to reading more of the author's work.
review 2: Ihana, mutta hie
... moreman surumielinen kuvaus nuoren tytön mielenliikkeistä uskonnollisen liikkeen vaikutuspiirissä. Tyttö käsittelee hyvin kypsästi elämän suuria kysymyksiä, välillä tuli mieleen, että ehkä hieman liiankin kypsästi ikäisekseen.. Tartuin kirjaan ehkä hieman epäillen, ajattelin sen olevan tylsä ja ehkä myös liian synkkä. Sitä se ei kuitenkaan ollut, se oli ajatuksia herättävä, kaunis ja lopulta myös valoisa. less
