""Love humiliates you, hatred cradles you""
5 stars"

This is my favourite book I have ever read. Its written in such a poetic way that you find yourself reading chapters or sentences more than once just to appreciate them.

The story follows Astrid through a series of foster homes, the characters we meet in each are rich and equally as interesting as Astrid herself.

A great movie adaptation too, but you cant trump the book. I would recommend this to anyone, any age, any background.

Description

White Oleander is a painfully beautiful first novel about a young girl growing up the hard way. It is a powerful story of mothers and daughters, their ambiguous alliances, their selfish love and cruel behaviour, and the search for love and identity.Astrid has been raised by her mother, a beautiful, headstrong poet. Astrid forgives her everything as her world revolves around this beautiful creature until Ingrid murders a former lover and is imprisoned for life. Astrid's fierce determination to survive and be loved makes her an unforgettable figure. 'LIQUID POETRY' - Oprah Winfrey 'Tangled, Complex and extraordinarily moving' - Observer
