Don't Tell Mummy by Toni Maguire

Why read this book? Well, if you want to read shocking and fairly graphic tales of incestuous rape, then I guess this is the book for you. Not for me, I have to say. Felt I ought to finish it, but I felt it was really lacking in any sort of hope or positive message. The reactions of people who learnt about the situation was appalling, and hopefully police, doctors, social services etc don't react in the same way now, but other than that, I wouldn't really recomment it. It's a strange, morbid fascination sort of book.
