Orphan Number Eight

The narrative jumps across decades and perspectives, creating a layered experience. I wonder what inspired this storytelling approach and how it affected the emotional impact.

The book's portrayal of trauma and resilience felt very raw, yet there was a sense of hope that lingered. I’m curious if others found the ending uplifting or bittersweet.

The detailed depiction of the orphanages and the time periods added so much depth. I'm interested to know how much research went into creating this authentic backdrop.
