really liked it

Terrific book! Very well written. Very touching without being overly dramatic. I have never heard of “Les Enfants de Duplessis� nor had any idea that the English Canadians could have been so mean towards the French Canadians. The story touched me deeply. Sometimes I was so angry against society that I wanted to throw my book against a wall. I can’t imagine the pain that those infants or the original families suffered. And it is hard to believe that a Canadian government was blinded by a greedy Church. Anyways, I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. Just to be clear, this book makes no political or religious statements, it is just a fiction book based on things that happened in the 1950’s.
