teacupsandfirereads 's review for:

The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

5.0

---

I honestly don't even know what to say or where to begin. This story broke my heart and put it back together. It was stunning and beautiful. It was so full of emotion and characters I loved so much. It made me cry, it made me laugh. I absolutely LOVED this book, it's made it to my all-time favourite list. The writing was beautiful and smooth and I wanted to savour it as well as devour it all at the same time. Graham put me right there with the characters and I felt everything they felt. This book gave me a hangover and I'm not sure I will ever be the same. Seriously, read this. You'll learn something about Canadian history that isn't spoken about and I enjoyed the learning it brought too. This is such a powerful novel that deserves to me loved and shared and honoured. I will be getting myself a finished copy for my bookshelf for sure.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and Genevieve Graham for my ARC in turn for an honest review.
