Yesterday i read a book called ' The Tannery'. This book was written by Sherrie Hewson. It was a fiction book and the story was all about a family that were struggling to survive during the war.
This book was ok. The text was easy to read and understand. The storyline i felt was a little to predictable. The ending i felt made up for the dissappointing story.
The story was all about Dolly Ramsden and the life that she was subjected to. In 1938 Dolly's father was sent to war leaving six year old Dolly and her mother to fend for themselves. Having no money, Dolly's mother was forced to take desperate measures to get her hands on money, she had turned to sleeping with different men everynight for the money that they needed to help them survive. This made Dolly's mother bitter and angry all the time and she would hit and verbally abuse Dolly when things got tough. Was Dolly to get her own back and get the revenge that she so desperately wanted? I suggest that you read the book and find out.
This book deserves a star rating of four as the story was a little disappointing, i hate to hear about people abusing children however the ending makes up for it, i have always said that revenge is sweet and in this case Dolly's mother got what she deserved.
