In The Toffee Man and the Kingdom of Ends, L. K. Quinn has taken a controversial and

sensitive subject as seen through the eyes of the child who experienced molestation

by a close family member. The story revolves around April Smart, her parents,

stepdad Andy and mom Hope, and her brothers, Luke, Matthew, Mark, and John. Life

starts in a gypsy camp where April finds a place in which old books and newspapers

are stored before going for recycling. She makes this place her own and reads the

books there. Although she does not always understand what she is reading, the sound

of the words comforts her. April discovers the Map of the Moon that was made for the

astronauts going to the moon, which shows the Kingdom of Ends where they would

land. April was 9 years old in the year 1968.

In The Toffee Man and the Kingdom of Ends, the author uses her character April with

such tact and skill when describing how April reacts to what she reads, finds, and

what happens to her. It is very hard for the reader when travelling on this journey with

April. She tries to be very good because everyone says that she is in trouble and that

what happened to her is her fault. As the story unfolds around April and she takes the

reader on a journey with her through this year of her life, the reader will at times be

brought to tears, and want to rant and rave at her parents, the Reverend Fisher and

his sister Eunice, and feel sad when April’s only friend Harold Gardiner is accused of

something he did not do. The Toffee Man, as April calls him, gives her homemade

toffees and teaches her about flowers, weeds, herbs, and their medicinal properties

and nutrition. The journey the reader goes on has many twists and turns, and yet the

ending leaves the reader gasping. It is a book that will definitely be read more than

once, as it will make the reader sit up and listen when a child starts living in a world

so very different from what is around her. Thank you, L. K. Quinn, for this insight into

the controversial topic of child molestation; it was fascinating to see it through April’s

eyes.
