Arriving at the house that Aunt Lucy left her was not what Justine had expected. The house was run down and no where close to anything but some odd neighbors.
Aunt Lucy's sister who had disappeared at the age of six and was never found was the main focus of the book along with the emotional lives of each character.
THE LOST GIRLS was a family saga that had chapters about the lives of the three sisters, Lilith, Lucy, Emily, and Justine both past and present. The Evans women lived unhappy lives which carried on from one generation to the next.
The father of Lilith, Lucy, and Emily was a bit disturbing. He was odd and strict. The girls were different but interesting. Justine and her daughters followed suit.
I enjoyed THE LOST GIRLS despite the gloomy feeling that seemed to overshadow everyone.
Ms. Young has a marvelous, descriptive writing style that helped you understand and connect with each character and each situation. Her writing just
pulled you into the story.
If you enjoy a bit of family drama as well as secrets and mysteries, you will enjoy THE LOST GIRLS. 4/5

I tend to enjoy books with a family at the heart of it. They tend to be quite layered and developed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one because I was unaware of it until now.
ReplyDeleteIt was an excellent family saga with lots of layers. :)
