About this listen

At school they called her Porky on account of the pigs her family kept outside their bungalow near Heathrow.

Only a child robbed of her childhood can know too late what it means to be loved too little and loved too much ...

Critic reviews

'Deborah Moggach conveys with chilling skill the process by which a fundamentally bright, decent child becomes infested by corruption.' (The Spectator)
'It illuminates with great compassion how love can so easily go off the rails.' (Daily Mail)
'At once eerily exuberant and bleak, this ia a compassionate, tough book.' (The Observer)

I have loved this novel since first reading it, back in the 1990s. I still own the paperback. It is such an impactful story, and feels so real. Wonderful narration. Please also produce an audiobook version of Stolen.
