Guilty Pleasure
What a good book!! I don't know when I have cried so hard because of a good book!!!. This book is heart-breaking, tender, suspenseful, and I could not put it down.
It it told in two voices. We meet Lily in 1931. A very young girl who for some unknown reason seems to be kept locked in a room in her parents attic. The only thing her mother says is that people will be shocked if they saw her. She is kept there until her mother sells her to a traveling circus!!!!
We also meet Julia in the 1950's. She has been raised by the same unloving parents but managed to run away. She is contacted by a lawyer at the time of her mother's death and goes back to the family home where she begins to relive painful secrets and discovers shocking family secrets.
Like I said, a very good book. I look forward to reading more by this author.
