(2) YA Wendy Darling, nine, lives in material comfort in Kensington, but her father is a drunk and philanderer, her mother a sad shell, her nanny a sadist. There's both drama and melodrama in the novel, but Wallace's intent focus on her heroine keeps the story from overheating. Readers who have felt the sadness beneath the magic in Barrie's original book may be those most ready for Wallace's.
