Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall
1.0
Too much.
Minor spoilers to 25%.
This book, Looking for Jane. I think I'm done. The unwed pregnant girl isn't cheap in the story as she was engaged and the fiance died. How did he die in 1968 Toronto? Never says. Let's say malnutrition.
Then the church has to keep her the second she starts to show, so for like 6 months, so they charge the couple money. The girl is like "they are selling my baby!!!" About 100 times.
Then when it's her turn to give up the baby she says she doesn't want to and the nun back-hands her across the face. So realistic.
I read this as I want to know the story. I'm sure these girls had it hard enough without ratcheting the drama up to 11. I swear the nun twirled her moustache like Snidley Whiplash.
