A review by antessmer
الطفلة التي لا تنمو أبدا by Pearl S. Buck, بيرل باك
3.0
This book was well written for what it was. The only reason I decided to pick it up was because my boss for the summer at my library job insisted I read a couple of books by Pearl S. Buck. So, I did!
This book was mainly a book for people who gave birth to "mentally deficient" children as they stated in the book. It was more so almost a guide for parents to follow for best taking care of their special children during the 1950's. The author had personal experience with such circumstances as she had a daughter that was born afflicted with phenylketonuria that stunted her mental capacity.
Parts of this book were just so sad, and while reading it I kept comparing it to the social decorum of today.
Extremely short and quick read. It was not a bad book, but completely irrelevant for today.
