Love Forms

"Don’t be put off by the dull title. This novel reads like a poignant memoir by an older woman trying to piece together fragments of her past, ostensibly to help her find the daughter she gave up for adoption decades earlier. Dawn, now divorced and living in England, grew up white and wealthy in Trinidad. At 16, she was sent on a harrowing journey by small boat to Venezuela, where nuns took in unmarried pregnant girls. Is it Dawn’s search for her daughter that finally allows her to seek answers to questions she’s never dared to ask?"
