Sarah Coulson has read and reviewed The White Stuff by Marsden's Simon Armitage, read what she says.

The White Stuff takes the reader on a journey that one-woman takes after the decision to have children is taken from her.

I found myself drawn into the world of the Fentons as they take a voyage of discovery into the world of adoption.

This is a thought-provoking read; you can't help but feel sympathy her husband, the social worker and his clients.

As soon as I started this book, I couldn't put it down until I had read the last page, I knew I would be enthralled in the characters and the turns their lives take.

I would highly recommend this book as Simon Armitage has a clever way of taking a strong subject matter and dealing with it in an empathetic way.
