The blue tattoo
It was good because it went into the history and dates of the times. So the book was not all about blood and gore (but was horrific) made up just for the sake of it, was the true story.

Ok but not worth the money if buying new
Very disappointed in this book, quite thin and I suppose the girl was very young when she lived with the Indians so maybe she couldn’t remember much or the author didn’t have the knowledge to portray her life. Not worth the money and too many pages of references at the back

Compelling Reading .
I enjoyed this book from start to finish and I read it in a day as it had me gripped from the beginning. What an amazing lady Olive turned out to be, A lady who held no malice for the Indians who she eventually thought of as family. Well worth a read if considering buying this book.
