I read a huge amount of children's literature with my daughter so that is mostly what you'll see from me here. Finding high quality books to share and enjoy with her has become my obsession. But, I also love classic literature, travel, historical fiction, poetry and art. Mostly, I just love books and words. Deeply.
An enjoyable enough character study, but with an ending that is almost too pat and too twee to stand. I really found the grim orphanage scenes almost unbearable. I just don’t want to believe that kind of thing could happen in such a prolonged and systemic manner.
