I am just starting the book known as Closed Doors by Lisa O'Donnell. This book takes place mainly in the chaotic house of a young boy named Michal. This took place in the late 1980's. They had included old style housing and parenting styles. Michal stays behind doors all the time, and try's to stay out of his parents eye as much as possible. He describes these doors as thick and very old fashioned, and worn away. The door knobs are always very loose, but for Michal its good to listen too through these doors.
Lisa O'Donnell, is the author, and I found out about this book and her through my summer reading of The Death Of Bees. This was a very exciting and suspenseful book, which inspired me to read some of her other books. She lives in Scotland, and is into writing stories about children, and their struggles. I chose this book because after my Summer reading of The Death of Bee's I realized how her work is very relatable for me and suspenseful, which makes it actually fun to read. For example have sibling issues, or stress issues at school, I could all connect to. I predict that the parents will end up neglecting their child Michal, in will lead to his internal conflict of what to do, and where to go, and even who to tell. I wonder why the parents are so loud and open about topics that could get them in huge trouble. So far this is a great book and I am excited to read more.
This sounds like a really interesting book and I definitely want to know if you like it. I might be interested in reading this book too because of your detailed description and prediction of the outcome. Can't wait to hear more about this book!
