Re: Review of Loss of Innocents
It is, sadly, an ongoing problem that needs to be resolved. Thanks for reading my review!Oluwapelumi Rachael wrote: ↑16 Jun 2022, 17:43 Sex trafficking is an ugly reality that is still being faced in many parts of the world. I must applaud the author for writing about this as it is quite rare to find books of such genre.

It does have a lot going on, but the author handled it wonderfully. It wasn't confusing at all. Thanks for the comments.

Many aspects of English history are truly grim and this is one example. By 1885 that were laws to protect children from child labour to a certain degree, but children were still vulnerable to many abuses. High profile abusers from the upper classes (like the members of parliament you mentioned) existed then and sadly in more recent history too.This is a part of English history of which most of us are unaware. It was estimated there were over 10,000 brothels in England by 1885, and many children were tricked into them or were bought from their parents for the purpose of prostitution. The police were paid to look the other way. Even some degenerate members of Parliament regularly visited the brothels and had no desire to see them closed.
The story looks like a well-crafted depiction of ugly historical truths that are sadly part of the present too.

I agree. You would think there would be some attachment there. I hope you read the story!Muna Chizzy wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 21:25 Wow, am already intrigued by the story. It will take a great deal for Lucy to be found. It saddens me that the nanny could do this to a thirteen years old. I enjoy reading your review. Great job!

I absolutely agree with you. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did!Ayesha_29 wrote: ↑18 Jun 2022, 02:49 I loved your review! I'm usually drawn to books with a tiny of sadness in them but this book really takes it to another level by including something very real in today's world. It's horrible that young people's innocence is still tainted by things like brothels today. I'm definitely going to check it out!
