Review title: Survival amidst seemingly insurmountable conditions
Product review: Anyone who has ever been a parent will be appalled at the level of selfishness displayed by the mother and father in this book. While much has been made of indomitable spirit, and lessons in survival, the lack of care that this pair showed toward their 4 children is truly appalling. The kids, including the author, manage to survive living in conditions which would get the parents arrested if anyone had been paying attention. How they manage, from a very young age, with no food and rarely any utilities, and at the end, no indoor plumbing, is astounding. The fact that the parents are obviously highly intelligent only adds to the reader's incomprehension. And the fact that the children continue to love these two dispite all, managing to forge contributory, successful adulthoods, is even more staggering.
