Reviews for The Nowhere Child

[brigitte ross · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I was captivated the whole novel. I might be silly but I was blindsided with the twist at the end, amazing. The voice actor was incredible too!

[Jackie Smoothy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Good narration too. Good twist to the plot.

[Jayne Attwood · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved this book! I loved the ordinariness of the main character just trying to find her roots. And the way the story all weaves in together. Definitely doesn’t turn out the way you would think!

The book may be brilliant, but the reading sets my teeth on edge. Slow (though that can be fixed technologically), and tries too hard to inject the feeling into the voice, like a newsreader's chuckle for a light story, or some look and sound for tragedy.
