I enjoyed this one, I took it out of the library on a total whim, very much enjoyed this short audio book. 
A young girl struggling to make sense of the world in an very stable home. 

The depiction of her growing up and slowly realising and understanding her home life is not normal and also really terrible is written so well. 

I was really rooting for Tatty and hoped that she would be able to forge a better life and escape the cycle, however I'm big sure that Tatty will get her happy ending.
