crabbygirl reviewed Frog Music by Emma Donoghue (Back Bay Books [$17.00 US])
Review of 'Frog Music' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
everything i'd hoped it would be.
the distancing that the child provided (not knowing to be horrified) made the book much easier to consume. and the grandmother character was spot-on: confident in parenting, no-nonsense advice/reactions, while allowing for natural boundaries. she reminded me of my own mom with my children. believable and effective as a character.
other than that, i was left with a deep curiosity about the real life experiences of jaycee dugard and elisabeth fritz.
