How trauma can be overcome through determination
David Copperfield is written in the perspective of him narrating his experiences as a child, in which his stepfather and sister treat him cruelly, eventually sending him away to a boarding school. Similar to Cinderella, his mother dies leaving him neglected by his family, hence he begins his search for his father’s sister, Miss Betsey Trotwood.

His life consists of moving from one place to another, literally walking the length of England, much like Oliver Twist, attempting to find a place in the world. Dickens', as in his other works, explores how hardships can force a child to become independent and successful. It's terribly sad once again, so you'll need something lighthearted afterwards.

This book was written in a way that made me instantly relate to the main character Tierney. From the very first pages it was compelling and heartbreaking all at once. (0 more)
This book is utterly stunning, when considering this book for reading myself it was described as a cross of the handmaid's tale and the hunger games and that couldn't be more accurate. The main character Tierney James is such a strong individual that while reading you cant help but feel everything she does. The twisters that are in this book make it so you nearly cant put it down. I personally finished the book in 16 hours and it only made me want to be a stronger and more independent woman myself.
