Good read families should look after each other there is no respect for older people now put them in a home and throw away the key the daughter was looked after when she was a baby.
-
I am finished with the book for a week. I gave it now to my oldest daughter, so she understands that family should always stands together. Love should always be more important than money!
I am very sorry whats happening in the book. I hope one day Karma will solve everything.

Ich habe das Buch am 1.1 2023 angefangen zu lesen und bin sehr angetan von der Schreibweise und dem Stil der Autorin. Easy reading, Gedanken leicht nachvollziehbar und spannendes Thema. Looking forward to read the Rest.

Read the book couple of days ago and I was totally amazed. The book is written very sensitively and touched my heart. I wud give it 10 points out of 10 and wud recommend it.
-
It is a very interesding book and emotional.

Zurück in Deutschland konnte ich endlich das Ebook bekommen und bin begeistert.Ich wünschte, es würde auch auf deutsch erscheinen, da ich glaube, dass die emotionale Beschreibung der Gefühle von der Protagonistin entscheidend dazu beitragen die Problematik der Fremdbestimmung zu verstehen.
-
Very sad Story
-
A good read and the print is very bold, for people with poor eyesight sad.
-
Fabulous book, a real tear-jerker. Must read!

This book is not written just to have written a book. It reflects the real world including real feelings about siblings' bondings; envy, competition, winner, loser, hate, love, care, destroy, rescue ... So that´s what´s going on in the world. The story of this book is about a sister who wanted to rescue her oldest sister who once did everything possible she could do to comfort her younger nine siblings and in her view got one day "prisoned" under the title protection. The author does not want to create a story with highs and deeps, she only does want to put a screaming help of an altruistic woman into letters, so the screaming for help can be heard at least after her death. The writing is pure from the bottom of her heart - you can read it in every line - with no camouflage but true feelings. The last thing you can sadly say ´Does it have to come to this it was so unnecessary!´.You can feel the anger, helplessness, disappointment, and powerless situation of Beth who tried to reach her best friend alias sister from that far distance. Well if people stop doing the possible, I guess it´s the worst as doing the best you can. Everyone will justify the things they do and the things they don´t do. That´s for sure! Nothing gets lost. If only everybody knew this.

Hello everyone, i write this review because i think if someone need a opinion before read or buy this book , this is one really amazing emotional and true story and beyond that a great message that people must listen and try to act before this thing happen to you or your loved ones if someone take your memory and put you in a hole or hell its same for me i think death is better than loosing yourself, although 5 stars to this book really a great story and great writer .

A very interesting and emotional book!

-
A inspirational title which makes a person think about the past, a reason to read the book and the reviews are great. So looking forward! :)

Ein gefühlvolles Buch über ein Thema, von dem man nicht oft liest. Das Englisch ist gut zu verstehen, so das die handlung gut in erinnerung bleibt. ich kann das Buch weiterempfehlen.

Beaten at birth is a book that doesn't shy away from not telling a heart-warming story. It is a book about family and what different meaning family can have. Either a safe space with people you can rely on, no matter what, or a group of people you are bound to and who have power over you - even if you don't like it.
Beaten at birth by Glenys Maureen Kohlen describes these two extremes and can either feel like a warm embrace or like a punch in the gut. Can definitely recommend it!
-
A very tragic story. It's well written. I read it and it brought me to tears. Not every book which is based on a true personal story can be so captivating as this one. It's so horrible to know that she has been imprisoned by the society and no one is standing by her. Even though her family is fighting for her to be free it seems like the health system is working against them.
