When We Were Romans: A Novel by Matthew Kneale

4.0

Told from the perspective of a child, this book follows two children and their Mother as they turn a bad situation into adventures. However, these adventures always become nightmares. It is an intriguing book that challenges readers to make sense out what is going on and being said based solely on the thoughts of a kid. I personally enjoyed this perspective and felt connected to the main character, enjoying his high points while being disappointed in his young flaws.
