This Is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn

808 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-7060-0 $19.95
(2) YA In this ambitious fictional memoir, nineteen-year-old Cordelia is assembling a book about herself as a gift for her soon-to-be-born daughter. Cordelia renders her adolescence with detail and immediacy, and while the novel, which employs a variety of forms, is a bit tricked out, it's warm in feeling, with an ending that will surprise readers with just how invested they have become.
