Forbidden will be one of those books I will always remember. Not only because it is a beautifully written, riveting journey; but also because it brought back memories about my own childhood. I think any reader will be able to take a piece of this book, big or small, and relate it to their own experiences in life. I'm not talking about relating to the incestuous relationship between brother and sister. There is so much more to this book then the incest. By the time you reach the final page, you realize the book is about the never-ending search for love and acceptance and trying to find your own voice when you think you are alone in the world. It is about the frailty of the family unit, and it challenges your thoughts on what really makes a family.

The book is absolutely consuming, heart breaking, and an absolute must read.
