Solace of the Road Audiobook

" A very good YA adult book about a young girl with a troubled past. She is finally placed in a good foster home, but her past causes her to run away. "

" After loving her other books, this was a disappointment. I did enjoy the exploration of disliking who one is and creating a different persona, one who is the things one wishes one could be. There was a theme of abandonment throughout, but far too resolved at the end. When a child is abandoned, they don't just "get fixed" - it is something they deal with forever and the young woman became too normal too quickly. "

" A bittersweet story. Holly is a lovely narrator, and I liked the way Dowd ended the story. "

" I really enjoy Siobhan Dowd's writing style. The language is gorgeous. I just found this to be a bit slow at times. "

" (Actual Rating: 3.5 stars) "

" Solace hitchhikes across England to stoway on a ferry to Ireland hoping to find her mother who abandoned her years ago. Dowd is one of my favorite authors and unfortunately, this is her last book. "

" i loved this book, i will read it again one day, i will always remember it "

" Good book about a teenage runaway, who finally figures out who she is. "

" An interesting concept, and I really enjoyed the book. It wasn't as powerful as A Swift Pure Cry but I liked it. "

" Kind of Slow but inspirational :) "

" A bittersweet story. Holly is a lovely narrator, and I liked the way Dowd ended the story. "

" One of my all time favourite books! "

" It's amazing, isn't it? That even before reading the book you're in tears. "

" Not a lot of action and therefore slow moving. When it gets good it's good though.Also, "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics will be stuck in your head after completion. "

" Gripping tale of a young outcast - I really couldn't put it down. "
