The Butterfly Girl

There's a lot of ugliness and sadness in this book that's hard to see. Mainly because you realize how much we do to avoid looking at it.

While I was satisfied with the ending, I didn't love this book as much as I did The Child Finder. I'm not sure what it was about this one that didn't reach me the same way, but it didn't. I still enjoyed Denfeld's writing and glimpse of the lives of these children (though ‘enjoy' seems like the wrong word in regards to the subject matter).
