Book Review: Behind the Barbed Wire Fence by Jennie Linnane
The narrative is more character-driven than plot-intensive, which may not appeal to everyone. However, I found it perfectly fine, as I’ve grown accustomed to the arduous nature of real life.

Beyond all the assumptions, notions, and realisations, I must say that I’ve encountered another sterling piece of literary work far too soon.
