Raj's Reviews > The Good Children

Beautifully written story about 4 very different children who have grown up with what to me looks like a mother with narcisstic personality disorder (perhaps I am not considering the strong cultural influence of the mother’s background here- although I am aware of it as my parents are from the same area). Parenting this way (completely devoid of warmth) has such dire psychological consequences for the children especially Sully. However each of the children have their strengths and manage to muddle through life and succeed in some way. I particularly empathized with Sully throughout this book. I enjoyed this book and would give it 4 stars.
