A movie adaptation must follow - By: Mrs Dalloway, 07 Nov 2008
Forget the raft of misery lit clogging up the bookshops. Yes, this is the story of a young girl from birth to sixteen. She was adopted,abused, neglected by individuals & institutions. But this book for all the familiar subject matter is writtenin such an honest, straight-forward, unembellished way as to set it apart from the rest.

It is a rollercoaster ride of a read,in which a girl, adriftin a society which constantly overlooks her needs & potential, tries to cope.She copes, mainly using her mantra of "Nothing in, nothing out."

So powerful was this book that I read itin one sitting & I would highly recommend it. It's not misery lit but it is a powerfully moving read.
