description: Amelia's Aquarium is like an illuminated manuscript of a medival fable, but told with a spare modern voice at once chilling and humerous. Zhauna Alexander's style captures the essence of coping with a mental illness in a dysfunctional world. The simplicity of her language and her incisive irony cut through the rhetoric which often clouds the issues of fate, the struggles of growing up "different", and the foibles of the heart.
