The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham
4.0
Set in the 1930s, this historical fiction tells the story of the Forgotten Children, orphans from England sent to Canada, where many become indentured servants to families looking for help on their farms.
The premise was interesting and historical fiction is my jam, so I was definitely the intended reader for this one. While I enjoyed the story, I just wasn’t as drawn in as I normally am with books like this. It felt a bit flat for me. I do think this would make a good discussion for book clubs wanting to learn more about this topic. There are some good discussion questions and ideas for enhancing your discussion. I also found the author’s note along with photographs very interesting.
