This is an amazing book, which is well written and detailed remembering the scenes as they played out but respecting peoples wishes. It proves how little was done back then and how it was only through the many campaigns and eventually getting the laws changing we got where we are today and how little health stuff was done, just think of what would be done now – with the increase of forensics and dna!
I myself remember the sad time well as like Sophie and Rob was 20/21 in 2007 and it was all over the news, and am a goth meaning I look and dress ‘weird’ so I can relate to them on that level also.
Thankfully time has moved on and people have hopefully ‘healed’ either by time or by understanding through Catherine’s book and knowing or learning the ‘back story’ which the papers and tv kept from us! the different prime minsters wasn’t a ‘help’ as it caused more pain just as people were getting over one, or finally being listened to it then all changed.
Definitely worth a read! Then pass it on to people you think would understand like yourself – and of course check out the SOPHIE site – of which I’ve got a ”weirdo mosher freak” t-shirt from, plus lanyard and MANY pens from!
