Review: Darling Girls - Sally Hepworth
Review: Darling Girls - Sally Hepworth - April 2024
This year I decided each
month to treat myself to a Book Box from The Book Shoppe, which is a
subscription-based company in New Zealand. You get one book and then 3-4 gifts
related to certain pages in the book. It's a great way to read as it's an
immersive experience. I had read a couple of books by Sally Hepworth. One was
The Good Sister which is still on my list of top thrillers and the other was
The Younger Wife which was the opposite spectrum as a DNF. The Darling Girls
sits in the middle of the pack for me. The book gives hints that the three
sisters who were together in foster care, experienced abuse and horrific things
and that there was a foster home they managed to escape from. Now twenty years later,
workers have been clearing an area and found the bones of a child. The girls
have been called back along with three others that the main three knew as the
babies. Who is the dead body and is it Amy - the missing fourth sister? The
ones the girls tried to save as children, but were labelled liars? Darling
Girls is a past/present novel that has the three main girls recalling their
arrival at the foster home and their experiences there. If you don't mind
reading books that contain child abuse and awful foster life, then Darling
Girls by Sally Hepworth is the Australian Fiction read for you as it is also
set in Melbourne and Port Arthur.
