Has anyone else read it (or seen the movie?) I just read it and I loved it. It was a very sad book, but really well-written. It's about a girl growing up in England in the 60s who'd been adopted as a baby by an extremely religious family and her mother drilled religion into her from the time she was born. Then she wound up being gay and caught and her mother as well as others in the church tried to do horrible things to her to "get the demon out of her". I liked how strong the main character was and her general attitude towards everything. She knew what she was doing was true and good even though her whole upbringing and everyone around her said it was wrong.
