Baby Doll

Overton, H.  (2016) Baby Doll. London: Arrow Books

Dr Anne has memories of the book The Flowers in the Attic.  The story of the children kept in the attic disturbed her enormously.  She dreamt of the attic in the derelict house next door.  Subsequently she read Room now it is Baby Doll, the story of a teenager who was kidnapped and abused over a number of years before she escaped.  The story tells of the aftermath of the escape rather than the life in capture so quite a different angle from the other two books.

This was a compelling read with a happy ending.  Dr Anne awards 7/10.
