** spoiler alert ** This was a bumpy but ultimately interesting read. The first part was confusing and disjointed enough that I almost put it down (the white guy wears a clown nose and drags his black wife around in a little wagon? huh?) - but once the white guy takes on the role of the teacher and starts reading Great Expectations to the children, I was intrigued. Sure, there are not-so-subtle shades of post-colonialism. (Does the book that transports the children in their imaginations really have to be written by a dead white guy?) But as a reader who continues to read because of the transformative power of books, I bought that. A story is a powerful thing. Then the physical book is lost. Colonialism's role in the loss of the book is an interesting subtext here. But the book is gone, and the children still need the story. So, with the help of the teacher, they reconstruct it. They "retrieve" it. This process is psychologically fascinating from the get-go and becomes even moreso later when Mr. Watts/Pip tells his own personal story, which is a complicated mashup of his own life and that of Dickens' character. Talk about the transformative power of a story! If Jones' story had ended on the island, I would be irritated and probably disgusted. The parts about the war had so little context and were very confusing (which is probably how the villagers felt, too). They were also physically violent, and that is never easy to read. But the author let Matilda escape this environment so that she could continue her own "retrieval" process. I needed this part of the book, which was very much like an epilogue. I didn't love the process of reading this book, but it has given me a lot to chew on. Thanks for sending it my way, Judy!
