Nesbit, E.

Saunders imagines the Pemberton children from E. Nesbit's Psammead stories as young adults during WWI. The Psammead, still curmudgeonly and vain, reappears in 1914 and stays with the siblings for most of the war's duration. With issues of social and gender inequality and a compassionate take on the ruins of war, the book is historically convincing, thought-provoking, and sensitive to Nesbit's interests.
