A princípio eu custei realmente a entrar na história, não percebia certas ações, não era o que eu esperava e não tinha grande interesse.

What I feel is that this book and this story don’t have the protagonism that it should, since it tells something so exceptional.This is a complete shock to Alice and she is struggling to reconcile the fact that Ralph, the man that has loved and raised her isn’t her true father. She sets about changing her life but to be honest as I couldn’t warm to her at all I didn’t feel overwhelming hope for her that she would do well in life. It was an extraordinary childhood and in all her books, Lesley has skilfully married the pain and unhappiness of her early experiences with a unique gift for storytelling. She was deceitful, conniving, a schemer, treacherous and nasty and despite her childhood I questioned was there really any necessary reason for her to turn out in such a manner?
