Poor Man's Orange by Ruth Park
5.0

I honestly can’t get over the writing in this book. There were so many parts that made me stop and just think because the writing was so beautiful.

The middle section of this just chewed me up and spat me out. I was sobbing for a while just because some of the passages provided a perspective on death in a way I hadn’t considered before and it was just so intense. The development of Dolour as she grows older too is so well done and realistic for the time. Yeah I loved this so much.

I do have some issues with the ending but literally everything else was perfect.
