*** 3 stars
A book a read a few months ago and neglected to add here. I listened to an audio version of this novel. I liked it for the most part; it was interesting to me that it was based upon reality. I did not know this part of Helen's life story. It mainly made me sad; it made me recall the children's novel, Miss Spitfire, that I read last year. I did not like that book at all as it exposed so much cruelty toward Helen. This book was similar but was not quite so harrowing (maybe because Helen is an adult in this book). But it's hard to read about how Helen's family was so controlling of her.
