The Child
Fiona Barton • 2017
Devastation Rating
grief loss family trauma
Our Take
A baby's skeleton is found during a demolition and the past begins to surface through multiple women's perspectives. Barton understands that the loss of a child is not a single event but a wound that reactivates across decades. The novel's strength is in what each woman has built over the absence.
