A review by eserafina42
Daughter by Jane Shemilt

2.0

2.5 stars. I don't feel that I need to like all the characters in a book, even the main one, but I didn't find the characters in this one to be either sympathetic or well developed. Also, I have to confess to some probable bias due to extreme annoyance at the self-indulgence of the upper-middle-class people who seem to populate most of this type of books. Admittedly, I have no idea what it's like to lose a child, but I would imagine that most average people have to go back to work and get on with their lives, at least to some extent, and don't have the luxury of leaving their jobs and spending over a year wallowing in grief and guilt.
