It’s a story of forbidden love Marina and Lex seem to be oddly fond of each other and it puts them at unease. For several reasons, Francesca Lia Block's Wasteland, which also deals with incest, provides an interesting contrast to Sleeping Dogs: One, the relationship. In the center of Wasteland are teenage siblings Marina and Lex and Marina’s friend West. She has written many ya books which often have elements of magical realism or fantasy. ![]() Wasteland is a young adult contemporary book from popular American writer Francesca Lia Block. I remember sitting there and listening to her talk about her book Wasteland and wishing that I was still writing for magazines so I could interview her. Arvio englanniksi, koska satuin tänään kirjoittamaan tästä kirjasta muualla, eikä kirjaa ole suomennettukaan. ![]()
