This is a masterpiece. An outstanding piece of art. This almost feels like seeing humans' lives from a God's eye. Or any divine beings that have been here since the world is created. One room, thousands of lives and stories. I'll think about this a lot

I like The Star Child more than The Selfish Giant. The story has more developed characters and interesting twist as expected from Oscar Wilde's genius craft skills. Enjoyable read.

How do you learn to be human if you were never treated as one since early in your introduction to the world?

FINALLY!!! What a long journey it had been! Oh, Margaret. What an incredible character. There's so much packed into this book. About contrast, about change, class, past-present-future, and more.
I'm glad I decided to keep going with this one.
Anyway, if nobody's going to have Henry Lennox, then I'll have him. Thank you very much.
