Helpful Score: 1
Very well written, I see why it was a bestseller and Booker Prize finalist. Very sad story, yet compulsive. The poor narrator. Her sisters, some nice, some mean. The poor circumstances of their family. Their DAD! I really didn't like him. Only a well written book could have given me such insight into this family and their circumstances. The hopelessness of it all, the ups, the downs, the children's lives in the balance. I did care about the girls and their Mama. Was surprised, but not surprised, by the revelations near the end. An ugly, gritty reality for many that live in poverty I suppose.
