Lost in the Forest by Sue Miller

4.0

I'm surprised so many people have given this book poor ratings but that's likely due to the slightly disturbing content of the story. It's about a family that goes through a rough time and some members of the family act out. There are some 'icky' moments among, especially, the children that probably put people off. I found the book well-written and felt that the author was among those who found the events disturbing, as they were portrayed that way. There was no attempt on the part of the writing to excuse these acts. Some may prefer that these events didn't occur but they do go on in the world and it was good to see them from the 'victim's' perspective as a way of seeing why it happens, what leads people to these choices.
A story about a broken family, more suited to older readers.
