Negative Positive
Title: A New Imprint
Review: As a young adult, I found the journey to maturity that Astrid, the main character, undertakes to be one that hit surprisingly close to home. Janet Fitch writes honestly while remaining creative, which is no small accomplishment. When I finished the novel, I felt that I had gained a new appreciation for the world Fitch describes. Though it has been several months since I finished 'White Oleander', the characters have stayed with me; I find myself wondering what they would think of different situations. The imprint of characters onto my consciousness is one of the greatest compliments that I can give to a literary work, and this novel certainly achieved that distinction.
