Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is pretty short and doesn't have a lot going on. Rose talks about her abuse she suffered as a child in the 40s and 50s in England. She gets left out of a lot of classes she wants to take because she comes from a poor family. It's sad that these kids who were abused never told anyone, not even their siblings, so Rose didn't know much about her sibling's experience with school and these teachers.
The book swiftly moves through the years and continues telling of her life after grade school and her emigration to Canada.

This an emotionally charged story about how a poor child was abused so horrifically. Everything she did or wore was never good enough for the teachers. I was heartbroken and cried several times while reading this. It comments on how powerful the teachers were and what they got away with as "education" and society in general in the 40s and 50s in England. It is a story that will stay with you long after the last page is turned. It is not for the faint hearted. I can't recommend it highly enough. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my review.
