OLDER FICTION
Geras, Adele

Other Echoes

(2) YA In a series of flashbacks, eighteen-year-old Flora recalls her childhood in a dreary boarding school in Borneo. In lyrical and almost sensuous prose, the heat, smells, and luxuriant growth of the island are described and provide a vivid background to a rather slender story line. The author has told a tale more imbued with mood and innuendo than with dramatic tension.
