Not what I expected. We don't get to hear very much about Gloria's time in captivity; most of the story focuses on Gloria's getting adjusted to the outside world and her lawyer and police lieutenant. ( )

The House of Forgetting was a captivating book. I'm not even sure how I came about owning this. It was simply in my drawer and the next thing I happened to put my hands on. I'm very glad that I did. This book is especially relevant considering simlilar real life situations that have come to light in the last few years.

Gloria is a chanllenging charicter to read. After being kidnaped she had a tough life but still remained a kind and caring person. However, her attachment to her captor was uncomfortable - if not something that was excusable.

This was a very good read and I would definatly recomend it. ( )
