Negative Positive
Title: beautifully written and haunting
Review: Janet Fitch's novel is written with extreme vocabulary and feeling. As I read the book, which I had a hard time putting down, I began to feel like I knew Astrid or wanted to know her, help her, love her. The story line is a mother who murders her lover who spurns her for various women. As a result, Astrid is forced into random foster homes where she is treated merciless and loveless until she meets one who will change the way she views her life forever. Try as she might, Astrid cannot shake her visions of her early life with her mother and bad memories. Poignant ending and fabulous story. I reccommend this wholeheartedly.
