Marigold and Rose by Louise Glück

funny reflective medium-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

5.0

This short piece of fiction is narrated entirely by twin infants, Marigold and Rose.  They can’t talk, but communicate with each other; they haven’t learned to write, yet Marigold labors on her own book throughout.  Their thoughts are the marvelous, otherworldly thoughts of children, to whom everything is new.  Louise Glück’s philosophical, delightful fable inspires pondering and play.
