Summary

The author is a good storyteller; she gives us vivid descriptions of places, scenes and characters in this book. The fantasy is disturbing, but similar stories of the book happened in the 1900s. People did not know that to do with relatives with disabilities. The beginning of the trust between Coralie and Eddie was rushed. The same day they met, she trusted him with many secrets. I did not think it was reasonable according to the tone of the book. The book inspired me to do research about the devastation and the working conditions for women and children in the 1900s. I liked the way the author ended the book with Coralie’s letter to Maureen. It was very touchy.
