Not for those looking for a happy ending, or an escape into the realms of happy fantasy, this book is narrated by Shane Dunphy, a childcare worker, who tells the reading audience about his time supporting the children of three families.
The reader is drawn into the stories of these three families, feeling empathy for them, and for Shane himself. Distrurbing, real and at times uplifting, this book is surprisingly easy to read given the content, and leaves you pondering over your own experiences, relationships and rationales.
Not my favourite 'tragic life story', but nonetheless insightful and accessible. I guess I am a little on the fench about the real, lasting impact of this one
