Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) CarolHicksCase | Mar 12, 2023 |  The book's story is interesting and deeply tragic and it kept me guessing right up until the end what really happened to Emily. The Lost Girls is a good title for the book because, in a way, the girls in the family are really lost as Emily's disappearance started a vicious cycle. Not that Lucy, Justine and the rest of the characters get lost in real life like Emily did. More like there is something in them that are lost. Something they are yearning for. They all have personal demons to deal with, even Justine eldest daughter who is not that old yet. It's a very good book, well-written and thoughtful and sometimes deeply moving. And, so sad. I want to thank William Morrow for providing me with a free copy through Edelweiss for an honest review! ( ) MaraBlaise | Jul 23, 2022 | There are a lot of questions left dangling at the end, and it hints at far more serious issues that are not explored. OTOH, it would be a very different read if it was weighted down with those issues explored. They could have been omitted entirely. ( ) rabbit-stew | Jun 26, 2022 |  ) Sunandsand | Apr 30, 2022 | But a lovely debut and I'll look for more from this author. ( ) WriterChris | Oct 5, 2021 | sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML: A stunning debut novel that examines the price of loyalty, the burden of regret, the meaning of salvation, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, told in the voices of two unforgettable women linked by a decades-old family mystery at a picturesque lake house. In 1935, six-year-old Emily Evans vanishes from her family's vacation home on a remote Minnesota lake. Her disappearance destroys the familyâ??her father commits suicide, and her mother and two older sisters spend the rest of their lives at the lake house, keeping a decades-long vigil for the lost child. Sixty years later, Lucy, the quiet and watchful middle sister, lives in the lake house alone. Before her death, she writes the story of that devastating summer in a notebook that she leaves, along with the house, to the only person who might care: her grandniece, Justine. For Justine, the lake house offers freedom and stabilityâ??a way to escape her manipulative boyfriend and give her daughters the home she never had. But the long Minnesota winter is just beginning. The house is cold and dilapidated. The dark, silent lake is isolated and eerie. Her only neighbor is a strange old man who seems to know more about the summer of 1935 than he's telling. Soon Justine's troubled oldest daughter becomes obsessed with Emily's disappearance, her mother arrives to steal her inheritance, and the man she left launches a dangerous plan to get her back. In a house haunted by the sorrows of the women who came before her, Justine must overcome their tragic legacy if she hopes to save herself and her children Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
