Reviews for Empty Cradles (Oranges and Sunshine)
An amazing story
I read this book years ago when it first came out and was very moved by it, I re-read it after seeing the movie and loved it even more. While the movie was good, the book has so much more detail and depth. It still astounds me that these children were treated in this fashion and it took so long for someone to tell their story. It is a sad and very emotional book. by Rose Hill
