'The Bookseller' book of the month for February 2017.
Here's what 'The Bookseller' had to say about it:
There is a magical, dream -like quality ... Set in and around the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, it opens in the summer of 1983, when Ruby has just turned 13. Her parents ... reveal that they are, in fact, her adoptive parents who took her in when she was four months old. Ruby is delighted:
Ruby is an unusual girl, she sees things that other people don't, and now she sets out to find her real family.
...Interwoven with Ruby's story is that of Anna, pregnant in 1970, who has plans for her unborn baby. ...
The Doll Funeral is the story of a separated mother and daughter, and the last line is heart stoppingly
beautiful.
