I thought this was well-written and easy to read in terms of not getting bogged down in heavy prose. I’m conscious of the fact that this story is based in truth and real history, both of the author’s mother but also of so many other women, however I found it to be largely without hope and therefore not the most enjoyable to read. I understand that this is reality, but as a novel I found it somewhat unsatisfying, perhaps a epilogue or some further reflection of would have made for a more conclusive feel at the end.
