The child called it evokes a string of different emotions and thoughts that I don't usually feel on a regular basis. The whole book feels like a pamphlet against child abuse. David is abused and talks about his parents beating him, which I can't really relate to. When David talks about his mother being kind to his brothers and his father being compassionate to David it makes me feel nostalgic to my childhood. I don't understand why his mother is so cruel to him, and not the other children. I wonder if he was doing something as a child that he didn't realize that would make his mother despise him, although this is not an excuse to justify what his mother did to him.
