 Evelyn: A True Story - Evelyn Doyle
Newest Review: ... work particularly well. Some of the thoughts that this child had were so real that they in fact took me back to a time when I ... more  ... was in care myself. The bonds that are formed between children in difficult circumstances were well explained. The loyalties that kids feel for each other were almost like taking a step back in time for me. There was no self pity, or criticism of the system.
