Uma história emocionante. Gostei mto

Wow! This was every bit worth what I paid for it. I don't typically buy books, but this one called to me, and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books from this author.

This e-book was available for $1 just as I was finishing another book by the author so I snapped it up. Again, bits were predictable and a little contrived, but I still really enjoyed it. The story jumps around in the timeline and is told from the POV of at least 5 characters. I had trouble keeping some of the characters and timelines straight when I started, but by the middle, I had it all under control.

5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Mobius Books is a newer imprint of Hachette US, and its focus is bringing the top selling titles from Hachette UK to the US. I’m so grateful for this and have loved every book I’ve read (check out my review for [b:The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon: Escape to the Riviera for the most irresistible read of 2020|54670144|The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon Escape to the Riviera for the most irresistible read of 2020|Sarah Steele|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1595682435l/54670144._SY75_.jpg|85296576] and [b:The Child On Platform One: Inspired by the children who escaped the Holocaust|53013474|The Child On Platform One Inspired by the children who escaped the Holocaust|Gill Thompson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568062955l/53013474._SX50_SY75_.jpg|72197234]). I am smitten with each and every cover on these books, too, but I have to say, The Lost Child may be my favorite. Stunning! (By the way, I don’t see this exact cover on the Goodreads options right now).

Taking place over two timelines, the 1960s and 2014, The Lost Child is the story of thirteen year old Rebecca, living in Seaview Cottage, whose parents are killed by an intruder though no one believes her... It’s also the story of Iris, a journalist, who is assigned a new story, one that takes her to the childhood home of her mother, Rebecca.

What kind of secrets is Seaview Cottage holding?

Wow. This story has so many layers, and they fit together beautifully. The story hurt my heart at times because of its realistic portrayal of women and children stuck in abusive relationships. It’s also about how men could yield power over women by having them hospitalized in psychiatric wards, completely unfounded.

The Lost Child was just the kind of emotional historical fiction I love most. The characters were easy to connect to and so was the story. The writing is flawless and engaging, without ever losing its steam. I highly recommend The Lost Child, and I am headed over right now to see if Emily Gunnis has written any other books I can devour like I did this one.

I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.
