The Forgotten Children by David Hill
A devastating account of the institutional abuse endured by thousands of British children at the notorious Fairbridge Farm School.
A heartbreaker you can't put down, a calmly narrated and impeccably researched tale of children from poor British families transported to Australia not in the eighteenth but in the twentieth century..A triumph of spirit and craft and humane forgiveness. -- Thomas Keneally
