I really enjoyed this book. Such a stark contrast between the poor mother's earnest devotion to her son and the way the rich doctor and his fiancee treat them as less than human- even when being "charitable". You can really FEEL like you're in the setting- the images are evocative and the characters deeply compelling. I cried along with the mother in the story!
