I don't know why I resist reading historical fiction so often, because so many times when I do read a book in this genre I absolutely adore it!

The Forgotten Home Child was informative and important, while also emotional and gripping and sadly wonderful. I just adored it.

I knew nothing about the story of British Home Children before reading this book, and I love when a work of fiction can also be a learning opportunity.

A similar book is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate which is a fictionalized story of the Tennessee Home Children. The Forgotten Home Child is the Canadian/British equivalent in a sense and I would recommend it to any Canadian reader interested in historical fiction.

I will certainly read more by Genevieve Graham going forward!
