Customer Reviews

Our Eddie

I picked this book up at uni, not knowing what it was about. The story is told between two people: Hal and Sybil. Two children from different cultures - Hal is from America and Christian, Sybil from England and Jewish. They meet by chance and become friends. This book has issues dealing with mental and physical illness/disabilities, poverty and how the characters deal with them. I did enjoy this book, it was well written and i'm going to read some more by this author!
