My Review
An enjoyable, moving read. The narrative sympathetically
unfolds from an unusual perspective, that of a couple who find a baby and
decide to keep her. The story unfolds at
a gentle, heart tugging pace and makes it impossible not to care about their
plight. The decisions made and the on-going consequences make riveting reading. The moral dilemma makes for a good ‘book club’
choice. Look forward to the movie.
