Voigt, Cynthia - Karen M. Klockner
KAREN M. KLOCKNER
The children [in Homecoming] … are carefully individualized, and the author reveals with subtlety and perceptiveness the psychological stress on each of them. She has a good command of language and moves easily between descriptive passages and dialogue. Throughout the book the children try to understand why they have been left in [their] … situation and what they should do about it. Although the outcome is not wholly convincing, the account of the events leading up to it is imaginative, thought-provoking, and worked out to the finest detail. (p. 439)
