The Forgotten Girls by Sara Blaedel

The Forgotten Girls - Sara Blædel

I received a free kindle copy of The Forgotten Girls by Sara Blaedel, translated by Signe Rod Golly, in an Amazon promotion in exchange for a fair review. 

 

I gave this intense, tragic story five stars. It was difficult to read only because I have worked at mental institutions in the past & this book triggered some unpleasant memories similar to what happened in the story with the burned girl. 

 

I had not read Sara Blaedel's work before but will watch for it again. This is book seven of the Louise Rick series, but can stand alone. There were some slow periods in it but overall I highly recommend this book.

 

Here's a quote from the protagonist Louise Rick: "She took a few steps but felt her aversion & grief rise up like a shield. She didn't want to go down there. It was no more than ten yards but she simply couldn't."
