Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Retelling the greatest story
Adele Geras reviews In The Shadow Of The Ark by Anne Provoost:
This may not be entirely a young adult's novel. Some teenagers will find it too slow and may decide that not enough happens on the way to the possible end of the world, but for those who don't demand a whizz-bang book every single time, there's much here to remember.
Once again the Guardian online review shows the US not the UK jacket, which makes Geras's comment that the "young woman on the cover could perhaps have been a little more Middle Eastern in appearance" difficult for the online reader to take a view on.
