One review says “this is the best
book I've ever read” which to me either shows how different we all
are or maybe a lack of reading experience. Either way it's not the
best I've ever read.
It appears that there are a whole
collection of books around at the moment where there is either a
child left in someone else's care or on the doorstep. Maybe the book
would have been better for me if I hadn't already read some of the
others and been affected by a touch of deja vu.
Negatives out of the way this one added
in the story of a home for those deemed incapable. Incapable in this
instance being a much looser definition than that with which we are currently
familiar, this time the occupants are more likely to be inconvenient
or a bit of an embarassment to their families.
The personalities in the home, their
treatment, their methods of dealing (or not) with their treatment
make the book. With a range of patients and their nurses and
supervisors the added level is a refreshing change.
Throughout the book there's a feel of
delicacy and then harshness.
Well written and an enjoyable read.
Would I buy another? Probably
