Welcome to Litsy!

This is one of those books that you know is fiction yet you also know these sorts of atrocities did really happen. Its heartbrekaing at times and yet such a powerful read. It jumps from past and present told mostly through the eyes of Sam and Ivy but we get a little from others too. It creates a stronger depth to the story. The ending was well written and tied everything off in the way that fitted. I liked Sam but Ivy stole the show. #Netgalley 4*

Onto this one!🤓

What a wonderfully emotional read! Once you get started you wont want to put this one down.

Weekend book mail two books that made me dance the happy dance💃

In 2017, journalist Sam discovers old letters from 1956 from a young girl staying at St. Margaret's (a home for unwed mothers). Sam sets out to learn more about this woman & discovers abuse & mysterious deaths of those connected with the facility.

The story was told from multiple POVs. Overall, the writing was good, especially for a 1st novel. I did think that some things were a bit too far fetched, but it still made for interesting reading.

Starting The Girl in the Letter tonight, it sounds good (will be released August 1). Also I made a first attempt at making shrimp springrolls for supper, I think I did okay 😅. #DinnerAndABook
