Since my background is quite similar to the authors; Why We Left really hits home. Theres a great deal of this that I hadnt heard before; but it really does change the way I look at history now - especially as it impacts my own family tree.The only criticism I have is the actual writing style. She seems to alternate inconsistently between an academic style and personal reflection. This might work if there were clear breaks in the text (such as blocking or italics) but (at least in the Kindle version) this isnt the case. Whats apparent is that shes not attempting to provide personal reflection; but that her writing is simply a bit inconsistent.This doesnt really detract from the reading experience enough to make the book less informative or enjoyable; but it does; imho; prevent it from receiving 5 stars.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Why we are still abandonedBy martha bertlesFascinating book suggests to me that the dysfunctional attachment strategies plaguing so many Americans today stem from the industrialization of forested lands in Britain in the 17th century and the "spiriting" away of the unwanted poverty stricken on to American shores.
