2 years later I have finally got to a point on Mt TBR to read this book. So sorry that it has taken so long. You can be assured that the book has not been lost (just buried for a while!!!)

Enjoyed this book - an interesting story. I probably enjoyed Law of Similars more but the story told here was very powerful, I especially liked the way it was told by Connie with parts of Sibyl's diary also used to bring the story into context.
Thanks Ladybug01 for sharing this book with me.

I'm sorry I took so long to read this book. Uni exams etc in between! I think I enjoyed this book. I'm not really sure. I liked that the story was told from the daughters perspective, reminiscent of Harper Lee's to Kill a Mockingbird. But I just found the story extremely slow moving and I was tempted a number of times to skip forward (I didn't!). Once the courtcase began in earnest, it got really interesting and I enjoyed the book immensely. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to read it....now where will the book head next on its journey??? Stay tuned!
