One of the best memoirs of 2022 according to Amazon. For fans of "Never Let Me Go" and "The Glass Castle." A poignant story that will surprise you.
Justin grew up in a wealthy family. Her father is a respectable lawyer....
Her mother is a housewife, who always has everything perfect. Neighbors admire them. Especially the mother: her aristocratic manners and royal British accent. But before the parents' death, the daughter learns about the main family secret. The secret of Dorothy Somes. Who is she and how is she connected to Justin? Now the daughter must come to a famous British shelter for children and investigate the past of a person she never knew.
Justin piece by piece gathers an unimaginable story. She arrives in gloomy London, travels to damp and foggy English villages to lift the veil of mystery over an ancient orphanage that raises servants for the aristocracy. Its history is closely related to the royal family, famous politicians, doctors, and art figures. Justin didn't even suspect how frightening and cruel the past of the abandoned children would turn out to be. The deeper she investigates the unjust story, the more incredible the life of a little girl who should never have been born seems.
