At the end of I am Rebecca Magdalene was only eight. Now four years have passed
and Magdalene is the oldest daughter in the remaining family and life is
starting to overwhelm her. We read with dismay as everything in the Pilgrim
Family and in parts of the Community begins to disintegrate, as the despicable
Elder Stephen slowly descends into madness and as the head of the family, Caleb
Pilgrim continues to insist that everything in life must be done according to
The Rule. Not for one moment does Fleur Beale let go of the tension that builds
and builds until – but yes, there is
a happy ending. This is a book that will be read and reread and many readers
will want to go back to the beginnings of the story of this incredibly
resilient family (to even the members of it we dislike the most) and start all
over again with I am not Esther and I am Rebecca.
Year 8 up/ Age 12 up (and for
adults)
