abbutterflie 's review for:
Okay. Given the blurb, I think I had hoped for something more illuminating and with more insight into the bigger picture of poverty and how you come through it. This was more the author's life story with a couple of stats and not very sophisticated commentary thrown in. I feel churlish criticising as it is her life story and would have been a tough book to write. It also seems less about poverty, and more about growing up in an unstable and dysfunctional household with a mother who was ill equipped to be a parent. And there's a lot of intersectionality with poverty, but was poverty the cause or a symptom.
