The Girl With No Name: The Incredible True Story of a Child Raised by Monkeys by Marina Chapman
4.0
This was a fascinating account. I have seen other reviewers trying to suss out if it's true or not, and while I was determined not to go down that road, against my will I found myself trying to piece the "truth" together.
I have developed my own theory (she's definitely not lying), but it's not really important. I believe it's the truth, with some unintentional metaphor woven in. As her daughter said in an interview, "we're just sharing our family story."
Apparently there was so much material, the author stopped when Marina was 14, intending to write a sequel. I'm sorely disappointed that after nearly ten years, the sequel does not appear to have been written.
