How the book is laid out made it easier for my brain as it was easy to go back in the book to refresh and remind me who was who, so I could follow along.Ĭhapter 1 starts in 2017 with Angela who works in an Antique Store who finds a letter.Ĭhapter 2 starts in 1960 with Evelyn who is sent to a maternity home and becomes friends with Maggie.Ĭhapter 3 starts in 1979 with Nancy who finds out she’s a LDAĬhapter 4 starts in 1960 with Evelyn went away to a maternity homeĬhapter 5 starts in 2017 with Angela who is trying to become pregnantĬhapter 6 starts in 1960 with Evelyn who went away to a maternity home The review made me buy the book, despite knowing how hard it is for me to read anything longer than a page and retain it, not to mention how tired I get trying to read, understand, and retain the plot line post stroke no matter how long ago it was.
Note there was also a “Sixties Scoop, where Indigenous children were removed from their reserves and families and placed into non-Indigenous homes” that is also in the link above but isn’t part of this book. Article from The Toronto Star here about what happened back before abortion was legal in Canada. Very similar to the Baby Scoop Era in the US. It’s a book set in Ontario, Canada back when unwed parenthood just wasn’t done, abortion was illegal and girls were sent away to maternity homes. I read a review of the Novel “Looking For Jane” by Heather Marshall, a first time author I believe.
