Book Review: Camellia By Lesley Pearce

Synopsis:  15 year old Camellia Norton's life is turned upside down when her mother is found dead in the nearby river.  Now an Orphan she runs away to London to experience life of the swinging 60s but her past won't stay buried forever and eventually it will threaten to ruin everything.

Review: As a self confessed Lesley Pearce fan I have read loads of her books and this one is definitely one of a my favourites I bought it at a charity shop for £1. It's a heart wrenching story of a girl who's hungry for some love and affection and gets caught up with some unsavoury characters along the way. I found it hard to put this book down it was amazing with a lot of subtle twists thrown in as well, it quite a long book at 768 pages but it worth the time it takes to read it, extremely powerful.

 Overall Score: 5/5 Wonderful book, a real gem.
