Title: AM Homes is a soothsayer
Review: I recently finished reading A.M. Home's new book Music for the Torching and was taken aback by the ending where a nine year old boy takes a classmate hostage in the cloak room and shoots him in the head. I wanted to be re-assured its only a story, that things like this don't happen in the real world, but all I have to do is flip on the T.V. or buy a newspaper to see that indeed such extreme violence is not fantasy but fact. On the brink of the Columbine shooting, I am flabbergasted by how on target she is with the world today. A.M Homes has quickly become one of my favorite authors- she is one of the most talented and insightful writers of our generation and is a wonderful role model for me with my own writing.
